Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 roasted beets if not pre-cooked, see instructions below
  • 1 tablespoon cultured oil e.g., Zero Acres
  • 2 tablespoons lemon-flavored Greek yogurt
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 6 ounces honey goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon hot honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese optional, for garnish

Method
 

Roast the Beets:
  1. If using fresh beets, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Drizzle the beets with cultured oil and wrap each one tightly in aluminum foil.
  3. Place on a baking sheet and roast for approximately 50 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Allow to cool, then peel by rubbing the skins gently—they should slip right off.
Blend the Dip:
  1. In a food processor, combine the roasted beets, cultured oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, goat cheese, hot honey, and salt.
  2. Pulse for 40–60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Serve and Garnish:
  1. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
  2. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese, if desired.
  3. Pair with fresh vegetables, crackers, or breadsticks. You can also use it as a spread or topping for proteins like grilled chicken or fish.

Notes

  • Using Pre-Cooked Beets: If using pre-cooked beets, skip the roasting step and proceed with blending.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Add extra hot honey for a sweeter flavor or leave it out for a more savory dip.
  • Make It Vegan: Substitute Greek yogurt and goat cheese with plant-based alternatives, and use agave nectar instead of honey.
  • Storage Tips: Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir before serving to refresh the texture.
  • Freezing Option: Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
This Roasted Beet Dip is a delightful combination of flavors and textures, perfect for any occasion. Try it today and elevate your appetizer game!
