What seasonings are good on beets?

I like beets, but I have no idea what to put on them to enhance the flavor.  Any ideas?

Put the spices on beets like cumin, cinnamon, pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds as well as fresh mint, or coriander. That will be good and tasty.

I think salt and vinegar goes really well on beets.

Just salt and perhaps pepper. I don't know of any other seasoning that enhances plain beets. Pickled beets are another thing and with those you can use any seasonings you'd use in any pickled vegetable.

If I am having them hot, I roast then just salt and pepper.  The bit of olive oil used in roasting is enough for flavor. 
If I am having them cold they go into a jar with vinegar, sugar, water, salt, pepper and some sliced onions, good to go after they sit in the fridge for a few hours a few days is better.

Due to the unique flavor of beets, go with the KISS Principle-Keep It Simple Stupid-Butter, salt and pepper.
