  • For beet greens:
  • STEP 1: Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet set over medium heat; cook beet greens for 3 to 5 minutes or until just wilted. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  • For serving:
  • STEP 1: Spread aioli in bottom of serving bowl. Top with beet greens and arrange roasted beets over top.
  • STEP 2: Sprinkle with goat cheese and chives. Serve warm or at room temperature with raincoast crisps® fig and olive.
