Whats the difference between golden beets and red beets? Red beets have a stronger beet taste, but both beets are pretty beety. Golden beets are slightly sweeter and milder, but nutritionally the two are practically identical. Red beets have a strong color that acts almost like a dye, and will color any dish where they are included. I prefer to buy beets with the greens attached. Beet bulbs are great roasted in the oven, and beet greens saute up quick and easy in a skillet. Beets are super healthy, especially the beet greens, so be sure to use the entire plant.

I like sizes about 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 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 TopThis 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 thats 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 to inches in length.Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. When oil is hot, add 1 small, chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes.Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, and 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.
