Steps
- Sauté the beets: Heat the avocado oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the beets and salt, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes.
- Add water and steam: Pour in the water, just enough to barely cover the beets. Cover with a lid and steam for about 6 minutes, until the beets are tender.
- Serve: Serve the beets warm, and don’t toss the rosy juice left in the pot. Kids love sipping it straight!
Notes
The leftover pot juice is naturally sweet and gorgeously pink—a fun (and nutritious) bonus. A quick heads-up for new beet eaters: the pigments can tint the bathroom pink, which is totally harmless. No need to peel. Just scrub the beets well, and you’ll keep the extra fiber and nutrients in the skin.
