Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- If using raw beets, wash them clean of sand and dirt. Set aside to air dry or dry well with a towel or paper towel. If using roasted beets, proceed to food processor step.
- Toss the beets in a mixing bowl with oil, thyme, a few pinches of salt and about 15 grinds of pepper.
- Turn the beets out onto a baking sheet and roast until fork tender, shaking the pan occasionally to insure even cooking, about 40 minutes.
- Remove beets from oven and set aside to cool. (You can do this up to a couple days ahead of time if you store them sealed in the refrigerator.)
- Remove and discard the skins from the beets. Cut beets into quarters. Add the beet quarters to a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until beets are roughed up into small but still chunky pieces.
- Dump the blended beets into a serving bowl. Crumble the goat cheese into the beets and add the chives and lemon juice. Toss together and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve with crostini or breadsticks.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse beets and remove any blemishes. Set aside 1 small beet. Place a large piece of foil on a rimmed baking sheet. Place remaining beets, oil, garlic, 3 thyme sprigs, and 1/4 tsp. salt in the center of foil, then wrap into a package to close. Bake beets until knife-tender, 60-70 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, toast hazelnuts on another rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes.
- Cook vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, 1 thyme sprig, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Peel and thinly slice reserved beet into matchsticks and add to pickling liquid; liquid should cover all matchsticks. Let pickle while beets roast.
- When beets are cooled, carefully peel off skins. Pulse hazelnuts and 1/2 tsp. thyme leaves in a food processor until finely chopped. Add roasted beets, goat cheese, 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Pulse 3 Tbsp. pickled beets in food processor until coarsely chopped (or chop by hand). Stir into beet mixture. Top with remaining pickled beets and black pepper. Serve with crudité and crackers alongside.
- Do Ahead:
- Beets can be roasted and pickles can be made 2 days ahead; cover in separate containers and chill. Dip can be made one day ahead; chill in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and smooth, without any blemishes. Smaller beets tend to be sweeter and more tender.
- Roast the beets properly: Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast them until they are tender, but not mushy.
- Use a good quality goat cheese: The goat cheese is a key ingredient in this dip, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A soft, creamy goat cheese will work best.
- Season the dip to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and honey you add to the dip will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the dip warm: This dip is best served warm, so make it just before you're ready to serve it.
Conclusion:
Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, tangy, and sweet, with a beautiful pop of color. Serve it with your favorite crackers, vegetables, or pita chips for a crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer.
