ROASTED BEET AND GOAT CHEESE DIP WITH CHIVES AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• If using raw beets, wash them clean of sand and dirt. Set aside to air dry or dry well with a towel or paper towel. If using roasted beets, proceed to food processor step.
• Toss the beets in a mixing bowl with oil, thyme, a few pinches of salt and about 15 grinds of pepper.
• Turn the beets out onto a baking sheet and roast until fork tender, shaking the pan occasionally to insure even cooking, about 40 minutes.
• Remove beets from oven and set aside to cool. (You can do this up to a couple days ahead of time if you store them sealed in the refrigerator.)
• 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.
• Dump the blended beets into a serving bowl. Crumble the goat cheese into the beets and add the chives and lemon juice. Toss together and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve with crostini or breadsticks.
