Are you a little beet skeptic about the reddish-pinkish, straight-from-the-ground root veggie? We think beets deserve a sweet spot in your produce basket, and we want to show you how.

First of all, beets are an amazingly versatile veggie – one that can be enjoyed year-round, no matter the weather. Since they take kindly to many cooking methods (think: pickling, roasting, sauteing, steaming and blending), the options are limitless when it comes to how you can incorporate this nutrient-rich garden bulb into your everyday meals. Naturally, our favorite ways to get our beet fix involve a drizzle of pure honey, which lends a delightful caramelized flavor to the beet’s bright earthiness.

From crunchy toast topped with snappy pickled beets to a perfectly pink snack dip, these six recipes are unbeetable.

• Honey Beets with Parsley Butter
• Honey-Drizzled Arugula Toast
• Beet Hummus Dip
• Pink Blender Soup
• Arugula, Walnut & Blue Beet Salad
