Instead of throwing the greens away we sautéed them in a little garlic and oil while we roasted the beets in the oven. Sliced thin they take no time at all. Be sure to mix up the horseradish yogurt sauce first so it takes on the flavor of the horseradish. Cook, relax and enjoy!
What you’ll need: 7 oz whole milk Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp horseradish (0.6 oz)
15 oz beets
5 oz beet greens
1 clove garlic (0.2 oz)
2 skin-on chicken breasts (airline 8–9 oz each)
1 ciabatta roll (3 oz)
olive oil
coarse salt
freshly ground pepper
Equipment: rimmed baking sheet
large skillet
Recipe steps: 1. Prep yogurt and beets
Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix yogurt and horseradish in a small bowl and season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Separate beets from their tops. Trim any long stems from greens; wash and dry beets and tops. Slice beets ¼–½-inch thick. Peel and thinly slice garlic.
