Homemade Beet Maror is delicious, and far easier to make than you might think. All you need is horseradish root, beets, and apple cider vinegar for this easy Passover recipe. I created my own Beet Maror recipe when I began making Passover Seders in our home. Although I grew up on Manischewitz Maror, I now love to make my own from scratch.
But folks, be careful! While making Maror is easy and even fun, it is important that you proceed with caution. I make Maror in the food processor, and it’s important when you’re done to remove the lid very carefully. Otherwise trapped horseradish root fumes may escape straight up into your nostrils. This proves to be a major decongestant, but can also be quite painful.
Beet Maror
Ingredients
- 1 horseradish root, peeled and chopped, about 4 inches
- 1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in food processor

- Carefully remove lid; do not inhale or smell mixture, as it may burn eyes and nasal passages

Hi, I am having fun trying out many recipes! I am ready to make the beet maror but am not sure what is meant by “1 inch beet.” Could anyone explain this for me? Thanks.
Elana says
Margaret, it’s a bout a tablespoon :-)
Eric says
Yes this 1 inch confuses me too :). What does it actually refer to?
Elana says
Eric, we’ve updated this back to the correct amount, thank you for calling it to my attention :-)
