Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium red beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 loaf baguette
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the beets, then wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through them.
While the beets are roasting, slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on another baking sheet.
Brush one side of each baguette slice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake the slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
Once the beets are roasted, allow them to cool slightly. Peel off the skins using your hands or a paper towel, then dice the beets into small, bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, toss the diced beets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Peel and lightly rub the garlic clove onto the toasted side of each baguette slice for a subtle flavor boost.
Spread a generous layer of goat cheese onto each baguette slice.
Top the goat cheese with a spoonful of the roasted beet mixture.
Drizzle each bruschetta with a small amount of balsamic glaze and honey for a sweet and tangy finish.
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the bruschetta for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful appetizer!
