Pickled Beets
Add sliced onions to the jar along with the beets for an extra layer of flavor and a bit of crunch. Red onions work especially well.
Incorporate fresh herbs like dill or thyme into the brine for an herbal twist. This can make your pickled beets even more aromatic.
Spice things up by adding chili flakes or a small hot pepper to the jar. It adds a gentle heat that plays off the beets’ sweetness.
Try using different vinegars like balsamic or red wine vinegar for unique flavor profiles. Each brings a distinct character to the final product.
Swap white sugar with honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener and a richer flavor. This also adds a subtle hint of caramel.
Mix different root vegetables, like carrots or radishes, with the beets in the same jar for a colorful medley of pickled veggies.
Roast the beets before pickling them for a deeper, more caramelized flavor. Roasted beets bring an extra layer of richness.
