Best Beet Chips And Goat Cheese Dip Recipes

ROASTED BEET AND GOAT CHEESE DIP WITH CHIVES AND THYME

Steps:

• Remove and discard the skins from the beets. Cut beets into quarters. Add the beet quarters to a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until beets are roughed up into small but still chunky pieces.

• Cook vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, 1 thyme sprig, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Peel and thinly slice reserved beet into matchsticks and add to pickling liquid; liquid should cover all matchsticks. Let pickle while beets roast.

BEET CHIPS AND GOAT CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with no stick spray. Peel the beets with a vegetable peeler. Carefully use a mandolin or a sharp knife to slice the beets into super thin (like less than 1/8 inch) rounds. Place all the rounds in a large bowl and drizzle on olive oil. You don't want to over saturate the beets, so just start with the listed amount above. Season the chips with a bit of garlic powder and smoked paprika. (I like to keep the salt until the end.) Place the beets on the wire racks in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the sheets and if you have larger beet chips, you can flip with each with a pair of kitchen tongs. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes - until the edges are getting dry and crisp. Watch closely - they can SO easily burn! Remove the sheets and sprinkle the chips with salt. Let them sit to cool completely - this is where they will crisp up and why you don't want to over-oil them! Once crisp, serve with the goat cheese dip. goat cheese dip Place the goat cheese, yogurt, herbs, salt, garlic powder and crushed red pepper in a food processor.
