Red beets often taste of iron which turns some people off, I recommend trying golden beets or striped beets if you can find them. Roasting in olive oil and S&P is quick easy and quite tasty. I also highly recommend the Roasted Beet Risotto recipe in Vegan Italiano, by Donna Klein. Not only isit a great recipe with any kind of beets I find the book indispensible.

I don't have a beet recipe of my own yet, but I did just find an amazing beet jelly at a local market recently. I have used this up as a sandwich spread, on perogies, and a mix of things so far and 'tis a tasty surprise. You may want to make your own... The ingredients include sugar, beets, distilled vinegar, apple pectin, and Italian heritage garlic. Or you may want to investigate http://www.beetrootdelights.com/ I don't know the makers - I just share a province with them - but you may be able to order online from the US. Happy beets!

I roast beets with maple syrup, olive oil and garlic. When they are soft and have that lovely roasty vegetable quality, remove from oven and allow to cool. Then combine beets with some toasted walnuts, a splash of balsamic vinegar, a sprinkle of vegan parm (if you're so moved) and (if you're a fan like me) more garlic. Spoon the filling onto your favorite ravioli, seal and boil as usual. I serve with this a sage walnut pesto. beet ravioli! tasty, pretty, beetastastic.

I LOVE the beet risotto recipe in her cookbook. The only changes I make are to leave out the lemon juice and the parmesan (obviously!). I can really recommend it.
