Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness, but you can also boil or steam them if you're short on time. For a smoother dip, use a high-quality goat cheese and ensure it's softened before blending. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice kick. This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepWash beets thoroughly. Individually wrap each beet in a square of aluminum foil. Place wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. (50 minutes)
03
StepOnce the beets are cool enough to handle, remove the skins by hand or by rubbing them with a paper towel. Cut the peeled beets into chunks. (10 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the beet chunks to a food processor or high-powered blender.
05
StepAdd the goat cheese, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, tahini, chopped thyme, lemon juice, salt, honey, and olive oil to the food processor. (2 minutes)
06
StepPulse until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or honey to your preference. (3 minutes)
07
StepTransfer the dip to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios over the top and drizzle with a touch of olive oil. (2 minutes)
08
StepServe immediately with your choice of crackers, raw vegetables, or crispy pita wedges. For best flavor, allow the dip to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. (20 minutes)
