Wish I could find beets with greens or beet greens without having to
go to a farmer's market (and then finding beet greens is not likely).
I definitely have to try roasting beats... I'm not very fond of them
otherwise. Do you roast them like any other roasted vegetable,
drizzle with olive oil - add anything else?

Want to hear a good addition to roasted brussels sprouts? Sprinkle
them with shredded (or grated) parmesan cheese and bake. Yum!
