Oh no, sorry to hear that! Maybe the oven temperature/heat distribution in our ovens is different. I’ll try my friend’s oven for this recipe to see if I get a different result, thanks for letting me know. I’ll look into it!

What did I do wrong? Followed directions but these were like ash? Just kind of disintegrated. Or is that what I should have been expecting?

Times are hard I am disabled living on Social Security raising teenage boys to say that keeping them fed is difficult is an understatement youngest is 6ft foot the other 6 foot 2 the wordS I’m hungry are constant refrain . Today I went to the food pantry at a local church where they have a garden they share with everyone. I’m so grateful for all the food especially the fresh veggies and fruits my kids love to make smoothies and they will eat/drink most vegetables in them however being able to afford GMO free,and Organic is not affordable most days but today I got a special treat when they offered me fresh beets as well as kale collards carrots turnips and jalapenos and we’ll as fresh thyme and sage. While the beets were roasting in the oven I was looking at the greens and thought about adding them to the collard/kale dish i was making but I was reminded of a comment one of the garden ladies made, she suggested making kale chips i wondered if the beet greens would work and here I am. I was lucky enough to get fresh thyme today and jalapenos wizzies up with some allspice and a few other items I was able make jerk seasoning substituting the jalapenos in place of scotch bonnet I feel so lucky. Tonight my family will have jerk chicken with mixed greens and roasted beets and carrots with the exception of the chicken all grown at The Vinyard, church. And I will be adding beet green chips to our snacks in the pantry. Thank for the recipe, FYI someone had given me walnut oil which i love so I did half with olive and the other with walnut. We shall see how they taste thanks.

Love beet greens! You can also throw them in a smoothie or lightly sautee them 🙂

Thanks Lauren! Beet greens are delicious when sauteed with a little bit of oil, so definitely try to keep an eye out for them 🙂

Love the idea of farm shares! Swiss chard is one of my favorite greens too 🙂

Josie, I don’t normally find beets with greens attached at the supermarket, but you’re making me want to go get them at the farmers market, just to try this out. what a fun twist on kale chips.

Josie,
Ever since I sautéed them, beet greens have supplanted Swiss chard as my favorite green. My farm share provides me with glorious bunches of beets, and sometimes at pick up the other members will give me their greens because I’m such a fan (a splash of sherry vinegar with a fried egg on top it is an amazing brunch).

My kids will eat kale chips, so I’m thinking they would also eat beet green chips. I’m looking forward to the start of the farm share season to try this!
Thanks!
