I dig beets! I think you either love or hate them. I’m definitely a lover! Especially roasted beets, which gives them a sweet, almost fruity flavor.
If you don’t believe me, you need to try this super simple Sweet & Savory Beet Galette, that only requires 5-ingredients and makes a perfect Fall starter or main with a side salad!
You cannot beat a galette for easy elegance. In this galette, the rustic French cousin of a pie, simply roll out store bought pie crust, top with tasty fig jam & add dollops of tangy Boursin cheese, leaving a border all the way around. Store-bought roasted beets are then sliced, and arranged on top. Fold up the border of the pie crust around the beets, roast and top with chopped walnuts! And voila! – you have an elegant Fall treat!
Enjoy!
