Ingredients
2–3 large beets
8 oz goat cheese, softened
1–2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Fresh parsley or thyme, finely chopped
Chopped pistachios or walnuts (optional, for garnish)
Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
1. Roast the beets
Wrap whole beets in foil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 45–60 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool, then peel.
2. Slice and cut centers
Cut into thick slices (about 1/2–3/4 inch thick).
Use a small round cutter (or knife) to remove the center of each slice, creating a ring.
3. Make the filling
Whip the goat cheese with olive oil, honey, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and fluffy.
4. Fill
Pipe or spoon the cheese mixture into the center holes of the beet slices.
5. Garnish
Sprinkle with herbs and nuts. Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze or extra honey
