Ingredients
- 4 pcs medium-sized beetroots washed and trimmed
- 5 oz goat cheese crumbled
- ½ cup cup walnuts chopped
- 2 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wrap each beetroot in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes or until the beetroots are tender when pierced with a fork
- Once the beetroots are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, peel off the skin and cut a small portion from one end of each beetroot to create a stable base.
- With a melon baller or a small spoon, scoop out the center of each beetroot to create a hollow cavity. Reserve the scooped-out beetroot for another use or discard.
- In a bowl, mix the crumbled goat cheese and chopped walnuts. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff each beetroot with the goat cheese and walnut mixture, pressing it gently to fill the cavity.
- Drizzle honey and balsamic vinegar over the stuffed beetroots
- Place the stuffed beetroots back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the filling is heated through and slightly melted.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
