How to Make Roasted Beet Spinach Goat Cheese Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim 1 lb beets. Place them in a baking dish, add 1/2 cup of water, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the beets. Let cool in the pan.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, peel the beets and cut into halves or quarters, depending on size.
  5. While beets are roasting, prepare the spinach. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  6. Add 10 oz fresh spinach and toss until wilted, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add the roasted beets and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and cook until the beets are warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 4 oz crumbled goat cheese and 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or light meal.
