Recipes Side Dish Vegetables Fried Beets 5.0 (4) 3 Reviews 2 Photos My mom loved these and I have never heard of anyone preparing beets quite this way! Not exactly a health-food, but so tasty! Mother said, 'Cook them until they're burned.' She was right! You may also need to add a little more butter or margarine if they seem to need it.
