Tips

  • Roast the beets a day in advance to cut down on prep time. Store peeled, cooked beets in the fridge until ready to use.
  • For an even creamier texture, ensure your goat cheese is at room temperature before blending. This helps it incorporate smoothly.
  • Experiment with different garnishes like toasted walnuts, crumbled feta, or a swirl of plain Greek yogurt for extra flair and flavor.
