Roasting is the best method when it comes to cooking beets as it retains their bright colors and their natural sweet flavor.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 Lb beets, trimmed 

6 Oz. Fresh goat cheese

2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Walnut for garnish (optional) 

STEP:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Wrap beets individually in aluminum foil and place on baking sheet.

Roast beets for about 1 1/4 our or until tender. The beets are done when they are easily pierced with a fork.

Remove and let cool then gently rub off skins using paper towels and cut into slices.

Place beets in serving plates, add the goat cheese, season with salt and pepper then drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Garnish with chives and walnuts.
