🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 3 medium red beets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 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.

3. While the beets are roasting, slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on another baking sheet.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. In a bowl, toss the diced beets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

7. Peel and lightly rub the garlic clove onto the toasted side of each baguette slice for a subtle flavor boost.

8. Spread a generous layer of goat cheese onto each baguette slice.

9. Top the goat cheese with a spoonful of the roasted beet mixture.

10. Drizzle each bruschetta with a small amount of balsamic glaze and honey for a sweet and tangy finish.

11. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the bruschetta for garnish.

12. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful appetizer!
