Roasted Beets on Greens image

Beets are packed with antioxidants, fiber, and other vitamins, which makes them a great vegetable to serve on salad or on the side for dinner. Here, we roasted them simply in the oven until they're fork-tender. Allow time for the beets to roast and cool; then enjoy this salad with a lemony-olive oil dressing.
