A delightful dish combining roasted beets with sautéed lemon garlic greens, perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the beets.
Peel and dice the beets into bite-sized pieces.
Cutting the beets evenly helps them cook uniformly.
Toss the diced beets with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Ensure all pieces are well coated for maximum flavor.
Spread the seasoned beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Stirring halfway prevents sticking and promotes even roasting.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the greens.
Sauté minced garlic in the skillet until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir constantly to ensure even cooking.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the greens and season with salt and pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Serve the roasted beets over the sautéed greens and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
