I was thinking the other day about all of the unlocked nutrients while I was making my Healing Chicken Broth. As I was prepping my Beets for Roasting I wanted to find a way to use my Beet Greens. I have used them before in my Green Smoothies- but I wanted a way for my entire family to benefit. Down below you will find a quick recipe for Beet Greens Pesto!
I roasted my Rainbow Beets in a dutch oven at 375 until soft- drizzling with Olive Oil, Celtic Salt & Pepper.
