I like beetroot roasted with some garlic. Not sure if that will make you like them, though.

Roasted garlic sounds nice. Beetroot... not so much. How do I get rid of the earthy taste. I'm hoping that taste is real and not just some weird mind glitch of mine

With lots of garlic the earthy taste is disguised. It is the earthy taste that I like about beetroot, though. I like it pickled, too, which we use as a garnish for casseroles and stews.
If you don’t like the stuff, don’t eat it. Can you gift it to someone?

No I'm socially isolated. Parents live 800+ miles away. I'm all by myself... all alone. I live alone, I work from home, alone, I study from home alone...

My only company are my two cats Vanille, and Saffron

Roast in oil and add a dash of balsamic vinegar - takes beetroot to an entirely new level. Also if you don't remove all the skin it adds an extra chewy texture.

I have to agree with everyone, beetroot crisps aren't bad or roasted :)
if you like, pickled beetroot?
beetroot juice mixed in with other veggies?

I also agree that beetroot tastes and smells earthy :(
Your cats are sooooooo cute!

People telling me how to control my diabetes. My health. Isms. People walking their dogs off leads in illegal areas. Meat that bleeds. Late buses.
