Not actually "cooked" but beets are fantastic when juiced as well. Combine with carrots, apple or pear, celery and you have a juice that tastes like sunshine!

I like to make a beet salad.
Boil beets skin off until tender cut into 1/2" cubes
Boil potatoes 1/2 cubes, and carrots, corn, peas
Mix veggies and let chill.
Mix with mayonnaise and lime juice. s and p to taste
OK, beets are in the oven roasting. I got some nice fresh ones with the greens still on them--the greens look really good---thinking about adding them to the final dish. Whatever it turns out to be. Thanks, everyone!

If you steam them or use the pressure cooker, you also end up with some awesome sweet beetness in the water.
Mixed with acid of your choosing (balsamic, wine, w/e) it makes a great reduction to be used either as a dressing or glaze.
Also, think of them like carrots: most people waaaay over-cook them. They can have a really great slightly crunchy texture, so don't just cook them till they turn to mush.

Really, you can make them taste like something other than dirt?

I always lay down a bed of sea salt and roast them in the oven, helps to not get flat dark spots as well as tasting great. Just a bit of olive oil and good salt. Maybe some white balsamic and pistachios.
OK, I tried. I'm with Devin. They taste like dirt.
