4 - 5 beets, raw (medium}
Kosher salt (to taste)

Instructions

1: Fill the bottom of the steamer pan with 2 inches of water. Bring the water to a boil.

3: Peel beets with a vegetable peeler.
4: Cut beets in quarters, wedges or slices.
5: Add the beets to the steamer rack.

Notes

Smaller and/or thinner beets will cook faster. Bigger beets will take longer to cook.
You can steam the beets whole if desired.
If you cook the beets whole or in quarters you can peel them after they cook. Let them cool a bit and use a paper towel to rub off the skins.
Wear gloves when handling the beets to prevent your hands from getting stained.
