While beets with horseradish is an Ashkenazi condiment decades old, millennial cooking has seen a resurgence of more-than-borscht beets. From golden beets to candy cane beets to classic red, we’re eating them crisped into chips, raw in salads, and roasted on artisan boards. Whether you like your beets classic with some oil and salt, trendy with citrus and garnishes, or with multiple textures and flavors, here are some recipes to satisfy each palate.
