How to cook deliciously - Beet Greens

1. Stage

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Editor’s Tip: Like other leafy greens, raw beet greens take up quite a bit of space, so choose a wide pan with higher sides to keep the greens contained.

2. Stage

When the oil shimmers, add the beet greens, garlic, salt, pepper and the optional crushed red pepper flakes. Use tongs to lift and toss the beet greens as they cook. Cook until the beet greens start to wilt, seven to eight minutes. Editor’s Tip: Wash beet greens before chopping them. Both the leaves and stems are edible, so you can roughly chop the entire bundle of beet greens into bite-sized pieces.

3. Stage

Drain any excess liquid from the pan. Serve the beet greens immediately. Editor’s Tip: If your greens produce a lot of excess liquid, quickly transfer them to a colander or fine mesh strainer to drain. If there’s just a touch of liquid in the pan, you can turn the heat up during the last minute of cooking to help it evaporate.
