  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Roast whole beets wrapped in aluminum foil for 45 - 60 minutes, or until a knife pierces easily. Once cooked and cooled to room temperature, peel and discard the skin and then cut into ½ to 1-inch cubes.
  3. Add vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, whisking occasionally, or until the salt and sugar have dissolved.
  4. Add the beets to a 16-oz. mason jar along with pickling spice, red pepper flakes, garlic, and/or dill, if using.
  5. Pour the warm solution over the beets and let cool to room temperature. If there is any space left in the jar, pour additional water in until it just reaches the top.
  6. Cover the jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight before enjoying.
