Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 garlic scapes, sliced
  • 8 ounces beet greens, stems removed, leaves sliced
  • 16 french baguette, 1/2-inch slices
  • coarse sea salt

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Chef's Knife
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Lightly brush baguette slices with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Arrange in a single layer on baking sheet. Broil on high until lightly golden and toasted, about 1 minute. Remove from oven.
  2. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and garlic scapes and stir for 15 seconds. Add beet greens and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes.
  3. Place toasted baguette slices on a platter. Top with sautéed beet greens. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover ingredients separately to keep the baguette crispy. Assemble just before serving.
  • Freezing: This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Freezing might change the texture of beet greens.
  • Pairing: Pairs perfectly with a crisp green salad or a light soup.
  • Seasonal Touch: Embrace seasonal ingredients! In summer, consider adding fresh tomatoes or peaches for a sweet twist.
  • Versatility: Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like cheese or nuts!
