  • 3 medium beets

  • ½ cup goat cheese

  • 1 large clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup full-fat Greek yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon tahini

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  3. Remove the skins by hand or by rubbing with a paper towel. Cut beets into chunks. Transfer to a food processor or heavy-duty blender.

  4. Add goat cheese, garlic, yogurt, tahini, thyme, lemon juice, salt, honey and olive oil. Pulse until smooth and thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with pistachios and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with crackers, raw veggies or crispy pita wedges.
