The only beets that were part of my life growing up were pickled, and they did not appeal to me whatsoever. That image really stuck with me, and I never touched another beet until a couple of months ago. I can't believe all the deliciousness I've missed out on! I've certainly been making up for it though, from grated on salads, roasted beets in warm salads, and these simple oven roasted beets served as a side dish.
