I do the same with the tops of beets with olive oil and lemon juice.

Hi
Sometimes I come across some beet tops that are a little more bitter. I use a Japanese condiment called mirin that brings the bitterness down a bit. When I do cook beets I wrap them individually in aluminum foil and roast them. When they're cool the Skins just slide right off
