Oven-Roasted Beets with Wilted Spinach

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Trim and wash beets. Set leaves aside and discard stems. Wrap beets in foil packages (3 per package) and place in a deep baking dish.

Step 3

Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from the oven. Divide onions, herbes de Provence, 1/2 of the olive oil, salt, and pepper between the packages. Reseal and roast for another 45 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from the oven. Drizzle 1/2 of the balsamic vinegar into each package. Reseal and roast for 5 more minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, melt butter and remaining olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Throw in spinach and reserved beet leaves. Cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Remove beets from the oven. Transfer beets, onions, and all drippings to a serving dish. Stir in wilted greens and season to taste.
