  • Author: Caroline Jones
  • Total Time: 70 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasted Beets:

  • 3 medium beets, washed and trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Honey-Balsamic Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Assembly:

  • 4 ounces feta cheese, sliced into rounds or crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or mint
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pecans (optional, for crunch)
  • Microgreens or arugula for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Beets

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the beets on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Wrap the foil around the beets and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-60 minutes, until fork-tender. Let them cool before peeling and slicing into rounds.

Step 2: Prepare the Honey-Balsamic Glaze

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces and thickens into a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Stack

On a serving plate, layer a beet slice, followed by a slice of feta cheese. Repeat until you have a small stack, finishing with a beet slice on top. Drizzle with the honey-balsamic glaze, sprinkle with chopped fresh basil or mint, and top with toasted nuts for added crunch.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Garnish with microgreens or arugula if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful and visually stunning dish!
