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

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Scrub the beets clean and trim off any leaves or stems.
3. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
4. Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
5. Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
6. Using a paper towel, gently rub the skins off the roasted beets. The skins should easily peel away.
7. Once the beets are peeled, chop them into small pieces.
8. In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped beets, goat cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh dill.
9. 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.
10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
11. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with some fresh dill on top.
12. Serve the roasted beet and goat cheese dip with crackers or sliced vegetables.
