Ginger Beets Recipes

GINGER BEETS

Steps:

• In a pot, combine the sugar, cornstarch, ginger; vinegar, cider, and the reserved beet liquid. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and clear. Add butter, salt, and raisins, and lastly, beets. Heat thoroughly and serve.

QUICK GINGER BEETS

Steps:

• Cut 1 pound packaged cooked beets into wedges, reserving 1 tablespoon liquid from the package. Whisk the liquid with 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon honey and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Toss with the beets and season with salt and pepper.

HONEY-GINGER BAKED BEETS

Steps:

• Scrub beets but do not peel.
• Place beets in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 40 minutes, or until just tender. Drain.
• When cool enough to handle, peel beets, cut into quarters and place them in a oven-proof casserole dish, with a lid.
• Pre-heat oven to 350ºF.
• In small saucepan, melt butter and mix in honey and ginger. Season with salt and pepper and pour over beets.
• Cover with lid and bake 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beets are well glazed.

GINGER PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Cover beets with cold water by 2 inches in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer beets until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes. Transfer beets with a slotted spoon to ice-water bath. Discard cooking liquid. Trim beets and rub off skins with paper towels, or peel beets with a paring knife. Cut beets into very thin rounds; transfer to a large bowl.
• Bring ginger, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour liquid over beets; stir. Let stand until completely cool, at least 1 hour.

GINGER BEETS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Place vegetables in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Whisk remaining ingredients; drizzle over vegetables. Toss to coat. Bake until carrots and beets are crisp-tender, 15-20 minutes.

BEETS WITH ORANGE AND GINGER

Steps:

• Scrub beets, leaving on root and 1 inch of stem. Place beets in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 45 to 60 minutes or until tender. Drain.
• Remove skins and cut beets into wedges. In a saucepan, combine remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; simmer until thickened. Add beets and toss.

ORANGE GINGER ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Chop root vegetables into 1/4 inch chunks and place in a bowl. If you want to prevent the beets from bleeding into the sweet potatoes and carrots, put the beets in a separate bowl.
• Wisk the remaining ingredients for the orange ginger marinade and evenly pour over the bowl of vegetables.
• Let them marinate for an hour and then spread the root vegetables on a non-stick cooking sheet. Make sure to pour the remaining marinade left in the bowl over the vegetables.
• Roast for 35-40 mins or until they're golden brown on the edges.

HONEY-AND-GINGER PICKLED BEETS RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring vinegar and honey just to boil in small saucepan on medium heat.
• Place beets and ginger in 32-oz. jar with tight-fitting lid. Add vinegar mixture; cool completely. Cover with lid.
• Refrigerate 24 hours before serving.

ROASTED BEETS WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Carefully scrub the beets clean trimming off the leaves and the long root tip. Tightly wrap beets in aluminnum foil and place in oven for 40-50 minutes or until the beets are tender and the skin is loose. Remove from oven and cut a slit in the foil to allow the steam to escape.
• Allow the beets to cool enough so that you can handle them. Trim the ends and peel the skin. The skin should slip of quite easily. If not then perhaps the beets need a bit more cooking. Cut the peeled beets into sixths or eighths - depending on the size of your beets.
• Heat oil under medium low heat. Add ginger and cook one or two minutes. Keep the heat low as you are looking to release the flavor. If your ginger sizzles or browns, then your heat is too high. Add the beets and cook two or three minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and cook another minute or so. The oil, vinegar and ginger should create nice glaze covering the beets.
• Serve and enjoy.

ROASTED BEETS WITH ORANGE AND GINGER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lay a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and place beets in the center. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap foil loosely around beets and roast in oven until beets are tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Using a zester, remove a quarter of the orange rind in long, thin strips. Cut away remaining rind and pith with a sharp knife. Remove segments from half the orange and cut them in half crosswise; set aside. Squeeze juice from remaining half and place 1 tablespoon of juice in a small bowl. Add vinegar and ginger and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Peel beets and quarter them; toss in a bowl with vinaigrette. Mix with orange segments, zest, and pecans, reserving some of each to sprinkle on top as a garnish.
