  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
  • 2 whole whole cloves
  • 1 whole bay leaf

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets in foil, crimping tightly to seal; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, 45-55 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel beets and cut into 1" slices. Transfer to a wide, shallow container.

    Bring vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, cloves, bay leaf, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes; pour liquid over beets. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
