Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to roast the beets if they are not already cooked.
  2. Once cooked and cooled, roughly dice the beets.
  3. In a mixing bowl, mash the roasted beets until they are chunky but soft.
  4. Roll the goat cheese into a log shape on parchment paper.
  5. Coat the outside of the goat cheese log with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  6. Roll the cheese log in the mashed beets until it is completely coated.
  7. Chill the log in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or serve immediately.
  8. Slice and serve with crackers, baguette, or directly from the log.

Notes

Roast the beets ahead of time and ensure they are completely cool before assembly to avoid runny cheese. You can use plastic wrap to help with shaping the log. Chill for better slicing.
