Roasted Swiss Chard with Feta



Prep Time: 10 Minutes            Ready In: 45 Minutes             Cook Time: 35 Minutes          Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 bunch rainbow chard - leaves and stems separated and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces feta cheese, broken into ½ inch pieces

Directions:
1.         Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
2.         Toss the chard stems and onions in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and spread onto the prepared baking sheet.
3.         Bake in the preheated oven until the chard stems have softened and the onion is starting to brown on the corners, about 15 minutes. Toss the chard leaves with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the leaves over the stem mixture, and then scatter the feta cheese over top.

4.         Return to the oven, and bake until the stems are tender, the leaves are beginning to crisp, and the feta is melted and golden, about 20 minutes.
