Calories: 234kcal
Equipment
- large sheet pan
Ingredients
- 2 pounds 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
- 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
Notes
* if beet greens are not available you can substitute for 10 oz of your favourite cooking green.
