Not only does beet juice dye the whites of hard-boiled eggs a beautiful bright pink, but it also instills some new and exciting flavors. The sweetness of beets, salt and acidity of the pickling liquid, and any whole spices you'd normally throw into a pickling jar offer a trifecta of sweet, spicy, and tangy to complement a hard-boiled egg's savory richness.
Beet-pickled hard-boiled eggs use beet juice and beets to infuse the pickling liquid, which gives you two pickled snacks in one convenient jar. You can roast or steam fresh beets, use canned beets and their canning juice, or even boil the beets in the pickling brine to kill two birds with one stone.
While a simple brine solution is all that's needed for beets and hard-boiled eggs, feel free to add your favorite spices, aromatics, and herbs. You can adapt our recipe for herby pickled eggs by simply adding cooked beets to the jar before pouring the spice-infused pickling brine over them.
