Easy Golden Beets with Beet Greens

Preheat oven to 425F

Cut the greens off your beets and set aside.

Scrub beets & remove any sprouty bits. Do NOT peel the beets.

Wrap however many beets you are going to use in aluminum foil (all in the same packet) and bake at 425 degrees until tender – about 35 minutes.

While the beets are roasting, wash your greens- place in crisper or wrap in a damp paper towel and place in refrigerator to stay crisp.

Thinly slice at least one clove of garlic – set aside.

When beets have finished roasting, the skins should slip right off. Slice the beets when they have cooled enough to handle, then set aside.

In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon or so of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add your sliced garlic and saute a minute or so, until it starts to soften. Add your greens and saute until they are bright green and just wilted. Remove from the heat. Add the sliced beets and toss with a few dashes of Balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.
