Is It Better To Boil Or Bake Beets?
It depends on personal preference and the dish you are making. Boiling beets is quicker and can be easier to peel, but it can result in a softer texture and may remove some of the nutrients. Baking beets takes longer but can bring out their natural sweetness and results in a firmer texture. If you are making a salad or dressing, boiled beets may be preferred for their softer texture. If you are using beets as a side dish or roasted vegetable, baking may be the better option.
