🧂 Ingredients

1 Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until
combined.
2 Heat the oven to 450°. Wash the beets, trim the tops and bottoms, then place
them whole in a covered roasting pan or on a baking sheet (cover the beets with
foil).
3 Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
4 Peel the beets while they’re still warm (but not hot) by running under cool
water and gently sliding off their skins. Slice the beets into ¼-inch-thick
slices and layer on the diagonal across a serving tray.
5 Top with the crumbled goat cheese, then use a pastry tube or sandwich baggie
with a small hole cut across one corner to pipe the pesto around the beets.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
