Cook the beets over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until they are tender but still slightly firm to the bite.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.

Transfer the sautéed beets to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10
