Tip: Add more root vegetables, including rutabagas, turnips, as desired.

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place the beet, carrot, onion, potatoes, garlic, and garbanzo beans into a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Drizzle with olive oil, then add the thyme, salt, and pepper, stirring thoroughly.

Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring once at the 15 minute mark.

At the 30 minute mark, remove the baking dish from the oven, and add in the wine.

Return to the oven, and bake another 15 minutes or so, until the wine is mostly cooked away.

When the vegetables are fork-tender, remove the baking dish, and add the beet greens, stirring until wilted.

Season with salt and pepper, as desired.

Serve warm with your favorite entrée.
