Beets With Horseradish and Pumpkin Seeds Recipe (2024)

Hmmm. Never seen canned yellow beets. Guess I haven't looked hard enough. Also, I always roast beets with their jackets on and mine come out with the rings. I usually leave them in their skin and let them cool down before putting them in the fridge and I don't peel until ready to use. I leave on a bit of the tail and of the stem for roasting which I remove with the peel. I would roast the colors separately and only combine when plating to preserve the color.

A delicious, quick and natural combination! I topped the platter with arugula and it looked (and tasted) great.

David, the wrapping in foil creates some steam that will help the skins to slip of SO much more easily than if you simply roasted them!

Made this tonight with red and golden beets from our garden. It’s a wonderful recipe as-is and tastes amazing!

Used pistachio nuts!

This sour cream-horseradish-lemon juice-toasted pumpkin seeds sauce is amazing other root vegetables. I used on beets but also tried with carrots and think turnips or potatoes would be awesome too.

I'm curious. Why would you want to make this with canned beets?

Made this with Greek yogurt, and it was delicious.

I like to sub thick plain yogurt in place of sour cream. Same delicious horseradish combo which I use on potatoes or any other root vegetable as well as beets.

Yum. Perfect for Yom Kippur.

With pre-steamed beets (you can get them everywhere in France...don't know for US) it takes 5 minutes. It's such a weird recipe and I am pleasantly surprised by how good it is. It's also cheap, filling and healthy. I'm making it for the 5th or 6th time tonight!

I used the shelf-stable cooked beets for this, and was generous with the sauce. I thought I would love this more than I did--it was adequate, not special, just not very tasty (surprising considering all that horseradish). A disappointment.

Old time beet roaster here! If you're going to roast your own, be thoughtful about what you're wearing (something you don't mind inadvertently turning red or pink) and think about donning gloves for the peel.

As a big fan of roasted beets I had high hopes for this. It was good, not great. The only change I made was using nonfat greek yogurt rather than sour cream. Perhaps this was the difference between good and great. I never use oil for roasting beets. The skin slips right off so I can't see the reason here.

Lebne! Pomegranate!

I used the Geffen beets from Costco, worked well. And a bit more horseradish, but that's a taste thing. I like horseradish. A pretty and flavorful take on beets.

This was okay. I don’t know if it worth making again.

Used store bought tube of wasabi instead of horseradish and it was excellent!

Made this for thanksgiving and our friends loved it—it was one guest’s favorite dish! Definitely taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed, and liberally salt and pepper the cooked beets before saucing. I also toasted the pepitas with a little olive oil and salt to make sure they were toasty and delish.

Delicious! Made with vegan sour cream and turned out fantastic.

This is just the most delicious salad recipe! My family loves it…. highly recommend.

If you’re using regular pumpkin seeds ( even “low sodium” brand from local grocery store), no way do you need to add any salt in the cooking process, unless you love overly salty food. Otherwise, you’re good!

Really enjoyed this. Did half the horseradish and it turned out great. Might try more next time but the toasted pumpkin seeds are a nice touch.

We took a shortcut and used the already cooked beets in the cold produce section. The combination of the horseradish and the beet was fantastic. Served this on a bed of arugula and it was fantastic.

I have had trouble with cooked yellow beets getting black spots. Nasty surprise when planning to use them for a special dinner. Anyone else with this problem and what can be done?

Delicious. Love the sauce. But did not like the pumpkin seeds on this - added weird crunch but the beets and horseradish sauce were amazing.
