Minnesota Grown Rainbow Chard Minnesota Grown Rainbow Chard

Chard

Sautéed or roasted chard is wonderful in quiches, casseroles, pasta dishes and even on pizza. To roast chard and other sturdy greens, chop and toss them with a little bit of olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Roast at 425° on a parchment-lined baking sheet until the edges are dark and greens are crispy. Look for Minnesota Grown chard from Untiedt's Vegetable Farm and Harmony Valley Farm in Wisconsin.
