Beet Deviled Eggs
By Amanda Paa – Last updated: March 20, 2023
These beautiful deviled eggs have a stunning pink beet filling. They're creamy and delicious, with garlic and a barely there beet flavor, brightened with lemon juice. A raw beet is used so you don't have to spend time roasting! Salty pickle juice is used for a little punch, too! You can make the filling two days in advance, then fill the egg shells before serving.

These Beet Deviled Eggs are the prettiest magenta color!
The filling gets its beautiful hue from golden egg yolks and raw beet grated in. They have rich flavor from the yolks and garlic, along with lemon juice to bright things, and secret ingredient – pickle juice! The beet filling is super creamy and the pink color really stands out. A stunner on the Easter table.
Tips for Peeling Deviled Eggs:
- Make sure your eggs are at least when one week old so that they peel easier. The fresher the eggs, the harder to peel, crazy as that sounds! What I do is buy two dozen from my farmer, one for immediate use, and one for deviled eggs.
- Peel your eggs under cool running water, starting with the bottom end of the egg which will help you get started.
How long to cook eggs for deviled eggs:
For bright yellow, creamy yolks, I find the best time for eggs is after removing from heat, letting the pot sit covered for 11 minutes. If cooked closer to 15 minutes, the yolk turns more white and chalky.

Yield: 24 egg halves
SCALE:
Ingredients
- 12 large pasture-raised eggs
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) finely grated raw beet (beet should be peeled)
- 1/2 cup full fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Put eggs in a large pot. Cover with water by two inches. Place on high heat, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat to low and let sit for 1 minute. Then remove from heat and cover for 11 minutes.
- Drain eggs and place them in an ice bath immediately. Once cooled, peel under cool running water, rolling the eggs on the counter first to help break their shells. Cut the eggs in halve and pop out the yolks, using a small spoon if needed.
- Add yolks + remaining ingredients to a blender or food processor (a blender will get them the creamiest) and add remaining ingredients. Blend on high until creamy and smooth.
- Scrape filling into a ziploc bag, snip one corner, and squeeze the mixture into the empty egg halves. Garnish with freshly cracker black pepper and minced parsley.

love you girl!
Your recap of the retreat is so touching and sweet, I think it’s so special how you all have connected despite distance. Everything looked beautiful and delicious! I remember seeing these gorgeous eggs on insta and I’m so happy to now have the recipe to try! I have to say, these are the prettiest eggs I’ve ever seen :)
Every single element of this retreat was pure perfection – we learned, we loved, we laughed, we connected and I’m sad it had to end. It was honestly one of the most impactful experiences of my life and you created something so special to be apart of and I feel so honored that you included me in the magic. I miss you so much – please come visit us again!
oh, this means so much Sarah. i can’t even thank you enough though, for bringing your love, teachings, support. and the babe! seriously, only you would make that work. love you. xo
AMEEENNNNNNNNNN!!!! I love everything about this. You and Sherrie created what seems to be the most love and light-filled blogging retreat I’ve ever seen. You are amazing women and the power in finding your tribe is unbeatable. I’m glad to call you and many of these ladies part of my tribe as well. XOXOXO
What a beautiful post Amanda. I was so struck when I first saw these vibrant eggs on Instagram…I’m only sorry it’s taken me so long to hop over and check them out. I remember following along on that weekend via Instagram and it sounded truly magical. So happy for you love! xo
aw, thanks for stopping by Rebecca! i feel like the lucky one who got to be around so many amazing women. xo!
First of all, those deviled eggs are just out-of-this-world gorgeous! And I’m for sure making them. It sounds like you all had such a wonderful, creative, inspiring weekend. This is what I love about this business. At its core are women who are doing what they love and sharing it with the world and each other.
Everything about this post is pure beauty.
Thank you Elle! It was so nice meeting you back in December. Can’t believe how long ago that was already! Hopefully our paths will cross again. xo
This is so beautiful and inspiring! It sounds like an incredible experience with so many moments to cherish. I actually got a little burned out recently from the competitive/nagative (for lack of a better term) vibes in the industry, and have been needing to personally reconnect with, well, the personal connection aspect of blogging and sharing food. Bringing people together is what it’s all about, not just online but in real life, around a real table with real conversations. It sounds like your group did just that, and had an amazing time – I wish I could have been there!
Oh, and P.S., these deviled eggs are SO GENIUS. I don’t make deviled eggs often, but the next time I do I know what recipe I’m using!
Willow, you have no idea how much this comment means. This industry is hard, and can feel lonely a lot of the time. And it can make us have serious personal judgement. And I really wanted to foster something else. So this is a start, at least. And I hope you know that there are other supportive women out there! I’d love to connect more. xo
I cannot tell you how much that trip meant to me, and I know it meant so much to everyone there. It’s reassuring that women can be supportive of each other, embrace each other’s talents, and learn so much from each other. Thank you for such a beautiful and enriching experience. I agree with Liz: with tear-filled eyes, I can say that I’m so grateful that you are in my life and that you and Sherrie made this happen. …and now I have to make these brightly colored deviled eggs happen again in my life! Big Xs and Os your way, lady.
This makes me love Minnesota all over again. So many amazing things to do! So glad you all had a wonderful time — these kind of retreats are just the best.
What a lovely story and I’m sure awesome tribe of ladies. These deviled eggs look amazing and I can’t wait to try them. Thanks for sharing your story :)
It’s with happy tears in my eyes that I read this post. Thank you and Sherrie for bringing us all together for such a meaningful, uplifting weekend. I am so grateful to have you in my life. Warm hugs all around. And I’m counting down the days until October!
What a lovely and inspiring group of ladies! It’s kind of the best hanging out with your tribe and figuring out that you met these people through a weird internet thing and it feels like you’ve known them all forever :) So much love in these pictures! xoxo
