I baked some with a handful of herbs from the garden and they were absolutely lovely, I had only ever brought them already packaged for salads and I really had no idea how versitile these little burgandy guys could be. Thanks everyone.
I've planted two rows of beetroot this year, at different times. thei earlier ones were not bad - they didn't get past golf-ball sized but they were sweet and tasty. But the later rwo, of the same variety, is doing almost nothing - small leaves and no swelling of the roots at all. I think it's the weather - they need a bit of warmth and they just haven't had it.
I grew beetroot for the first time this year. We've had a mix of sizes but none as big as I'd hoped. I think it was all the rain - they didnt get a chance to put down a good root system and then too little sun and warmth.

Thanks so much, I'll give both methods a go and report back.
You can also steam them. Once cooked the skins come off easily and they are nice eaten hot with other vegs.
I sometimes steam or bake them, slip the skins off and serve with a parsley sauce with fish - very pretty and totally delicious.

We have eaten ours grated in salad, very nice.
