@.cookwithbrooke: Easy Roasted and Pickled Beets Day 1 of forcing myself to eat something I do not enjoy… for my health. Immediate reaction: 🚩 Second thought: …okay wait. Not terrible. Still suspicious. Apparently pickled beets are actually worth the attitude adjustment: – support healthy blood pressure (hello heart health) – improve circulation + blood flow – natural nitrates = better energy + workout performance – vinegar helps with digestion + blood sugar balance And before anyone starts clutching their pearls about the sugar—relax. This is actually way less than a lot of recipes out there, and you’re not out here sipping the brine like a cocktail. The beets absorb some of it, not all, and they’re perfectly sweet without being over the top. So yeah… I’ll be eating a few of these daily like a reluctant adult. How many beets until I become one of those people with their life together?? Asking for me. — Pickled Beets (the “I’m doing this for my health” version) Ingredients: – Fresh beets – 1 cup water – 1 cup apple cider vinegar – 1/3 cup white sugar – 1 tsp pickling salt – Black peppercorns – Ground mustard (light shake) – Cinnamon (about 1 tbsp per pint jar) Instructions: 1. Roast whole beets at 400°F, loosely wrapped in foil, until fork tender (30–60 mins depending on size). 2. Let cool slightly, then rub skins off with a paper towel (they slide right off). 3. Cut beets to your preferred size and pack into pint jars. 4. In a saucepan, combine water, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil and stir until dissolved. 5. Add cinnamon and a light shake of ground mustard directly into each jar. 6. Pour hot brine over beets, seal, and let cool. 7. Refrigerate and let them sit at least overnight before eating (longer = better flavor) #beets #health #pickles #Recipe #EasyRecipe
