Instructions

Creating Beet and Goat Cheese Crostini is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Beets: Wash the beets thoroughly, then wrap them in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes or until tender.
3. Cool and Peel Beets: Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool slightly. Peel the skin off, then slice them into thin rounds.
4. Prepare Baguette Slices: While the beets are roasting, arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush one side lightly with olive oil.
5. Toast Baguette: Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Mix Goat Cheese: In a bowl, whisk together the softened goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
7. Assemble Crostini: Spread a generous amount of goat cheese mixture on each toasted baguette slice. Top with a slice of roasted beet.
8. Garnish: Drizzle with olive oil and honey (if using) and sprinkle with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
9. Serve: Arrange the crostini on a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
