Goat cheese and beets not only make a great side or salad, they also make a tasty dip! Serve with crostini, pita chips or crackers. Beets will stain, so wear gloves if desired.

Time 50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ pound beets - trimmed, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
1 (8 ounce) package goat cheese, softened
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon coarsely crushed pine nuts
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place beets into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and place in the roasting pan.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until soft for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven and fold foil over beets to keep warm. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Combine goat cheese, cream cheese, thyme, garlic, and lemon juice in a mini food processor; blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a small oven-proof dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and lightly browned, 15 to 17 minutes. Create a well in the center of the cheese mixture and top with beets. Garnish with pine nuts and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve warm.

I've never been a big fan of beets, but this dip changed my mind. The sweetness of the beets paired perfectly with the tanginess of the goat cheese. I'll definitely be making this again.
