Number Of Ingredients 4

4 beets, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes

1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the beets, olive oil, and thyme in a bowl until beets are coated, and arrange pieces of beet on baking sheet so that they don't touch. Sprinkle the beets with sea salt.

Simple and Delicious Beet Greens image

Provided by Daryl Gerboth

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches beet greens, stems removed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 lemons, quartered

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the beet greens, and cook uncovered until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the greens are cold, drain well, and coarsely chop.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the greens until oil and garlic is evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper. Cook just until greens are hot; serve with lemon wedges.
