Roasting gives them a deeper flavor, try washing but don't peel, then boil until soft. then peel, if you still want them sweeter look up a recipefor Harvard beets.

Be careful if you pickle them, there are a great many recipes out there, some just say to cover them in vinegar.

I make my own "perfumed vinegar" it is sweet and spicy without the acrid taste that just vinegar gives. If you don't find what takes your fancy on the net get back to me and I will post mine. It is a very old recipe from Yorkshire in the Uk, My Mum did beets with it. I am very very fussy about my pickling vinegar.

I really don't like the honey one posted sorry Luigi, but onions and beets together is a no no for me. I love onons but not in beets..acrid again.
