Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If your beets are large, cut them in half, then cut into 1/4-inch slices. If using both red and gold beets, microwave them with the red on one side of pie plate and the gold on the other, so just a little of the red color leeches onto the gold beets. If the two colors are arranged randomly, the gold beets will all become red.
