Oven Roasted Beets with Wilted Spinach

Ingredients

  • beets with greens (6 medium)
  • red onions (2 medium)
  • herbes de Provence (2 tablespoons)
  • olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • coarse salt (1 teaspoon)
  • ground black pepper (0.25 teaspoon)
  • balsamic vinegar (2 tablespoons)
  • unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
  • garlic (2 cloves)
  • fresh spinach (2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  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.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes.
  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.
  5. Remove from the oven. Drizzle 1/2 of the balsamic vinegar into each package. Reseal and roast for 5 more minutes.
  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.
  7. Remove beets from the oven. Transfer beets, onions, and all drippings to a serving dish. Stir in wilted greens and season to taste.
