1
I usually cook beets by boiling because it's so easy. Just put them in water, bring it to a simmer, and cook for about 20 minutes depending on the size of your beets. If you can pierce them easily, they're done.

Combine all ingredients in a blender

How to Boil Beets
If you just boil or roast beets long enough, it becomes very easy to remove the skin. I prefer boiling because it's cleaner, faster and simpler.
