A bonanza of beets...

Good morning (or whatever time of day it is where you live) Omnomnom-ers

In the past year I've learned to enjoy beets, and in a moment of weakness at the farmer's market yesterday I picked up, for $8, a really giant bag of not-quite-perfect beets. The only problem is, now I'm not sure what to do with them.

I was wondering if anyone had any borscht recipes they swear by, or any other beet recipes in general.

My default beet recipe is:

1) Slice beets into thin pieces

2) Toss them in a little oil, then season somehow (Italian seasoning, parmesan and breadcrumbs, garlic powder, whatever)

3) Lay them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven at 400 F for 20-30 minutes.

And while it is very yummy, I don't think I can eat the entire bag this way.
