Roasted Beets and Beet Greens

I wanted to try roasting some beets. When I bought a couple of bunches at the grocery store, I noticed they came with these long stems. It made sense that they would be edible so I googled a wonderful recipe. The results were delicious and nutritious on both counts.  I hope you'll try this!

Beet Greens

Here's my recipe for roasted beets:

2 bunches beets, trimmed and quartered
2 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

preheat oven 350F

Rinse, trim and quarter the beets.
Toss beets together with the rest of the ingredients on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for approximately 30 minutes until soft.

I have never seen fresh beets at the supermarket near my house. Sounds like an interesting recipe.

I must admit an aversion to beets. SOmething to do with my ex-husband's late aunt who grew them and pickled them and sent them to us by the bottles...I never knew what to do with them.
I think it's too late for this old dog!
