Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized beets
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Crackers or sliced vegetables for serving
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the beets clean and trim off any leaves or stems.
- Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
- Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Using a paper towel, gently rub the skins off the roasted beets. The skins should easily peel away.
- Once the beets are peeled, chop them into small pieces.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped beets, goat cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh dill.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, you can add a little more Greek yogurt or lemon juice to thin it out.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with some fresh dill on top.
- Serve the roasted beet and goat cheese dip with crackers or sliced vegetables.
