Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the beets thoroughly, then shred them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and become slightly golden and fragrant.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is aromatic but not browned.

Add the shredded beets to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the butter and garlic mixture.
Step 5
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the beets and stir well to combine.
Step 6
Cook the beets for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still have a slight bite. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8
Transfer the buttery shredded beets to a serving dish and serve hot as a side to your favorite main course.
