• Turn oven up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Crinkle up a piece of aluminum foil and place it into an oven-safe dish (such as a pie dish) to act as a disposable rack. Place beet onto foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the beet just starts to turn tender, about 45 minutes. Wrap beet in aluminum foil and let cool to room temperature.
• Turn oven temperature up to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Peel beet with a sharp paring knife; peel skin from beet. Cut beet in half and cut halves into thick half-moon-shaped slices.
• Drizzle walnut oil in a baking dish and brush oil over the bottom of the dish; arrange beet slices in the dish in a single layer. Crumble goat cheese into the empty spaces and over beets. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Bake beet and cheese in oven until beet pieces are sizzling and the edges of the cheese are slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

Place the beets in a small baking dish or roasting pan, and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. If you wish to peel the beets, it is easier to do so once they have been roasted.
• Cover, and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a knife can slide easily through the largest beet.
• When the roasted beets are almost done, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onion, and cook for a minute. Tear the beet greens into 2 to 3 inch pieces, and add them to the skillet. Cook and stir until greens are wilted and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the greens as is, and the roasted beets sliced with either red-wine vinegar, or butter and salt and pepper.

ROASTED BEET AND GOAT CHEESE ROSE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Trim leafy green tops from the beets and rinse under cold water - set these aside to dry. Then, scrub the beets and wrap each one loosely in aluminum foil. Place them on a sheet pan and roast for 1 hour or until a fork slides in easily.
• While the beets are roasting, julienne the beet greens and set aside for garnish (can substitute fresh basil or arugula if you have no tops).
• Crush the hazelnuts (or walnuts) in a plastic bag with a rolling pin or heavy pan, then lightly toast the nuts & dust for garnish as well. The nuts are roasted as soon as they become fragrant, remove immediately from heat.
• Remove beets from the oven and allow to cool before peeling the skin off, then cut each in half before slicing ½-inch (1.2 cm) pieces.
• Drizzle a pie plate or tart dish with nut oil. Starting from the outside edge, begin arranging the beets into a rose pattern, spiraling inwards. When finished, add salt and pepper.
• Using two spoons, portion bits of goat cheese in-between the 'petals' of the rose. Drizzle a bit more nut oil on top when complete.
• Place the dish under the broiler for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese starts to crisp on top.
• Remove and top with greens and toasted nuts.
• Enjoy!
