Thank you @marjou. How do you cook the beets? I never thought about how many nutrients are in the tops. @marjou, are beet tops bitter?

@jakedduck1 I cut the beets in half with skins on and add other veggies on hand like carrots, small potatoes, onions and place on aluminum foil ( create a pouch) with olive oil, a pat of butter and lemon juice. In toaster oven bake at 400-425 degrees for about 50 minutes (use timer) or until tender. Can season with Lawry's seasoning salt. The beet skins are easier to remove after they are cooked. Beets are tasty both hot or cold. Hope you enjoy
