Golden Beet Recipe for Beet Greens and Roots

by

Try a golden beet recipe using both the beet greens and the root. What’s the difference between golden beets and red beets? The differences are minimal, and either beet can substitute for the other in recipes as long as color is not a factor. Red beets have a dominant red color that acts almost like a dye, and will color any dish where they are included. 

Red beets have a stronger beet taste, but both beet varieties are pretty beety. Golden beets are slightly sweeter and milder, but nutritionally the two are practically identical. I prefer to buy beets with the greens attached, in fact, beet greens hold more nutritional value than the roots, so be sure to use the entire plant. Beet bulbs are great roasted in the oven, and beet greens saute up quick and easy in a skillet.

What You Need for this Golden Beet Recipe

GOLDEN BEETS with GREENS
ONION (chopped)
GARLIC (finely chopped)
SALT
SEASONING (I use just a little garlic powder and chili powder in the video recipe)
OLIVE OIL
OIL for sauteing

How to Cook Golden Beets and Beet Greens

Buy beets that feel heavy for their size. Avoid beets with soft or shriveled skins. Look for beets with stems and greens attached, and choose beets with firm stems and crisp beet leaves.

Wash the beets, and separate the bulbs from the beet greens.

How to Roast Beets in the Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Leave skins on the beet root, but trim the bulbs at the top and bottom root stem.
  • Chop beets into roughly similar sizes. I like sizes about ½” a round. Make them as uniform as possible so the beets will cook evenly.
  • In a bowl, lightly coat the chopped beets with olive oil and season as desired. In the video recipe I use about 3 cups of chopped beets and season them simply with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Spread the beets evenly on a lightly oiled baking pan and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. Adjust the time accordingly depending on the size of the chopped beets. When the beets are about ⅔’s done, give them a turn in the pan and return to the oven to finish.
  • A fork will pass easily into the beets when they are finished roasting.

How to Saute Beet on the Stove Top

This is a super simple beet greens recipe. There are many ingredients you can use to prepare a variation on this dish, but for me, this is pretty minimal. You can leave out the onion and garlic, if desired, but that’s what a crazy person would do.

  • Separate the leafy greens from the beet stems. Give the greens a rough chop and set aside, and slice the stems into uniform sizes about ¼ to ½ inches in length.
  • Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Need a good kitchen skillet? You can check current prices for a shiny new non-stick skillet on Amazon.
  • When oil is hot, add 1 small, chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of chile powder.
  • Add 3-4 cloves of finely chopped garlic, mix well, and saute for another minute.
  • Add in the chopped stems, cover the skillet and let cook several minutes until the stems are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Once stems are tender, add in the beet green leaves and cover for 1 minute.
  • Once leaves are wilted, turn off the heat, mix the greens well, and serve the dish hot.
