Roasted Golden Beets with Wilted Greens

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch golden beets - with their greens

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil - 2 for roasting the beets, 1 for satueeing the greens

  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 medium onion - diced

  • 1 ounce feta cheese - crumbled (optional)

  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425

  • Trim ends off of the beets and use a vegetable peeler to remove the rest of the beet skin.

  • Slice beets into ½ inch slices.

  • Add beets, olive oil, and maple syrup to a medium sized bowl and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat beet slices evenly.

  • Place beets slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. I like to use parchment paper here to keep the beets from sticking as well as to make clean up easier.

  • Bake beets in the oven for 40 minutes

  • While the beets are cooking, add a tablespoon or two of olive oil to a large saucepan and heat to medium heat.

  • Trim the stalk ends off the beet greens and slice into 2 inch thick ribbons. What you are looking for is bite sized pieces of greens.

  • Add a tablespoon or two of olive oil to the pan and add the beet greens, onion, garlic, and about ⅛ cup of water. Toss the greens in the pan until they wilt - about 4-5 minutes.

  • Place the cooked beets on a serving tray, top with wilted greens and sprinkle with the crumbled feta to serve.
