I love fresh garden foods, especially ones as hearty as beets and carrots. This is a great way to enjoy the end-of-the-garden harvest. Plus, the ginger adds great flavor and health benefits. —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas

1-1/2 cups thinly sliced fresh beets

Whisk a splash of apple cider vinegar into the sauce for a little tang.

Increase the cooking time if you're using larger beet slices.
