Wash the beetroot thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots off, then peel the beetroot with a vegetable peeler.
Cut the beetroot into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick, for quicker pickling and even flavor distribution.
Place the beetroot slices in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the beetroot and set aside to cool slightly.
In another saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, erythritol, and salt. Stir in the whole black peppercorns and bay leaves.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the erythritol and salt completely. Once boiling, remove from heat.
Pack the cooked beetroot slices into sterilized glass jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the beetroot slices, ensuring the beets are completely submerged.
Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
Allow the beets to pickle for at least 24 hours before serving. The flavor will continue to develop over several days.
Store the pickled beetroot in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy them on salads, as a side, or straight from the jar!
