Beet Chip and Goat Cheese Appetizer Recipe
Description
Choosing the most visually appealing beet chips ensures a visually attractive base. Each chip is topped with a small spoonful of goat cheese, followed by finely chopped walnuts that add texture and a nutty flavor. A single leaf of arugula or microgreens tops each bite, bringing a fresh and slightly peppery note. A final drizzle of balsamic glaze introduces a sweet, tangy finish.
This appetizer offers a blend of contrasting textures: crunchy beet chips and walnuts, creamy goat cheese, and crisp greens. The flavors range from earthy and tangy to sweet and peppery, making it suitable for serving at gatherings or as a simple starter. The method is straightforward and focuses on assembly rather than cooking.
For homemade beet chips, the recipe details thinly slicing small beets and baking them carefully at controlled temperatures to achieve crispness without burning. This results in a healthier, fresh alternative to store-bought chips.
Ingredients
- 1 bag beet chips see notes
- ¼ cup goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon walnuts finely chopped
- 24 leaves arugula or microgreens, baby
- balsamic glaze to drizzle
Instructions
- Go through the bag of beet chips and pick out the best-looking 24 and put them onto a plate
- Top each beet chip with a small piece of goat cheese.
- Sprinkle a few walnuts on top of the goat cheese, top with a piece of arugula, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve right away.
Notes
- Buying extra beet chips helps ensure a sufficient number of uniform, appealing chips for the appetizer.
- For a homemade option, slice beets thinly, bake initially at 350°F, then lower heat to 220°F to achieve crispness without burning, seasoning with salt.
