Save Recipe

Fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor! This stunning appetizer layers sweet roasted beets with creamy goat cheese, finished with a drizzle of balsamic and olive oil.

Ingredients

✔ 3-4 medium fresh beets, roasted & peeled
✔ 4 oz goat cheese, creamy & spreadable
✔ 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
✔ 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
✔ ½ tsp salt
✔ ¼ tsp black pepper
✔ Handful of microgreens or arugula (for garnish)

Instructions

1️⃣ Roast the Beets: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and wrap each beet in foil. Roast for 45-60 min until fork-tender.

2️⃣ Peel & Slice: Let beets cool slightly, then peel off skins. Slice into ½-inch rounds for even layering.

3️⃣ Layer & Stack: Arrange beet slices on a plate, layering with dollops of goat cheese between each slice. Alternate colors if using different beets!

4️⃣ Drizzle Dressing: Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the beet stacks.

5️⃣ Garnish & Serve: Top with microgreens or arugula for a fresh touch. Serve immediately or chill briefly.

Notes

✔ Choosing Beets: Use a mix of red, golden, or candy-striped (Chioggia) beets for a visually stunning dish.

✔ Peeling Hack: After roasting, rub the beets with a paper towel to easily remove the skins—less mess!

✔ Uniform Slices: Use a mandoline slicer for perfectly even beet rounds.

✔ Make-Ahead Friendly: Roast beets up to 3 days in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to assemble.

✔ Extra Flavor Boost: Add crushed walnuts or honey drizzle for a delicious contrast.

 

✔ Serving Suggestion: Pair with a crusty baguette or serve as a side with grilled meats.

Nutrition

Keywords: Substitute goat cheese with feta for a different flavor profile. Add fresh herbs like dill or basil for an aromatic twist. For optimal presentation, ensure beet slices are uniform in thickness.
