    Easy Pickled Beets Recipe

    Published: Nov 23, 2017 · Modified: Dec 14, 2022 by Rachna ·

    I love pickled vegetables especially beet pickles and pickled onions. They go really well as an accompaniment to your food.

    They also taste great in wraps and sandwiches just like gherkins or pickled jalapenos.

    Here, I am sharing the recipe for quick pickled beets. I used the exact same method for pickling carrots too. It adds a tart, spicy hint to veggies that is delectable.

    The pickled beetroot can be easily kept in the fridge for upto a week. The taste matures as you keep longer.

    You may also like: Pickled jalapenos, air fryer carrots, mango pickle, lemon pickle.

    Ingredients

    Beets: Choose fresh beets. Peel them and slice them into cubes or slices for pickling.

    Vinegar: I have used apple cider vinegar here. But the plain white vinegar also works well.

    Tips

    1. This recipe is an easy way to make crunchy pickles at home.

    2. You can add vinegar solution to beets and leave them in the fridge for 6-8 hours for refrigerator pickled beets.

    3. Add any herbs or spices of choice. You can add a few cloves of garlic, some peppercorn or chopped dill to the pickles for enhanced flavor.

    4. Do not keep these pickles for too long. I generally make smaller batches that get over within a month. The tart flavor deepens as time progresses.

    5. This easy pickled beets is a perfect recipe to try for even novices.

    6. You can make pickled carrots using the same recipe.

    I find beetroots not very tasty as salad hence I prefer to consume them in this manner which makes them tastier.

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 beetroot peeled and cut into strips or cubes
    • 3 tbsp. vinegar
    • ½ tsp. Himalayan pink salt
    • ½ tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. cayenne or chilli flakes optional
    • ½ tsp. sugar to balance out the tartness

    • Peppercorns optional
    • Some water

    Instructions
     

    • Take beetroot strips in a bowl.
    • Add all the ingredients to it and mix.
    • Add enough water so that the beetroot strips are soaked in the vinegar solution.
    • Keep them soaked for 2-3 hours. It is ready to be consumed.
    • You can also refrigerate and consume after 6-8 hours.

    Notes

    1. You can use regular vinegar or even apple cider vinegar if you have it.
    2. You can reduce chilly powder as per taste. Some people prefer using black pepper instead of chilly powder.
    3. Himalayan pink salt is a nice addition.
    4. Adjust salt as per taste.
    5. Chopped dill and peppercorns are my addition as I like its taste. It is completely optional.

      I love the crunchy texture of beetroot in salads. I like the flavour of dill too - that's soya leaves, right? This is a recipe I'll try soonest.

      I love beetroot in any form! It was such a healthy and delicious vegetable. I have a doubt regarding this recipe. My husband hates fermented smells so cannot stand vinegar. Is there a way I can replace it with lemon juice in this recipe? Will it give the same effect and crunch to the vegetable?

        November 23, 2017 at 6:03 pm

        Actually this does not smell at all. The vinegars these days are not strong smelling. You can replace with lemon juice but the effect won't be the same. It will get soggy instead of crunchy.

      I have never developed a taste for pickled veggies but I can try. Also, can I use this over a long time?
      Also, I like that your recipes are possible to try 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

        This one tastes good. You can use this over a period of 2 weeks. I had kept mine in the fridge for that much time. And you can try out this recipe with just one beetroot for the first time to check if you like the taste. Just halve all the ingredients.

        You are most welcome. I don't like slogging in the kitchen either. 🙂

      We used to have a version of this served with Arabian food like shawarmas, hummus and pita bread. They are lovely with that mix of tangy, vinegary feel 🙂
