Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°. Wrap red beets in foil and roast directly on the rack until a knife slides easily through the center, 1½–2 hours; let cool. Rub off skins with a paper towel; coarsely chop.

    Step 2

    Pulse chopped red beets, garlic, Parsley Mayo, walnuts, prunes, and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth; season with salt. Stir in pickled beets. Place in a disposable pastry bag or resealable plastic bag.

    Step 3

    Halve eggs lengthwise; remove yolks. Cut a ¾” opening in tip of pastry bag. Pipe filling into eggs, mounding slightly. Top each with a golden beet slice.

    Step 4

    DO AHEAD: Beet filling can be made 1 day ahead. Chill in pastry bag.
