Time 55m

Yield about 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium beets, leaves trimmed, or 1/2 pound roasted beets from deli or salad bar
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 sprigs thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4-ounce log goat cheese
1 small bunch chives, finely sliced
1/2 lemon, juiced
Crostini or bread sticks, for serving

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.
