Beets are an ideal option for adding a pop of color, great taste, and nutrition to any dish. They are naturally fat-free, low in calories, and loaded with vitamins and minerals. Beets are especially rich in folate (20% of the daily value in a 3.5 ounce serving), which plays a key role in growth and development and heart health.

Aunt Nellie’s Beets are also offer excellent value with versatile uses in a wide spectrum of delicious recipes, from sweets and snacks to soups, sandwiches, salads, and smoothies. Aunt Nellie’s offers a variety of jarred whole and sliced pickled and non-pickled beets including single-serve cups of diced pickled beets when you are on the go!

Savory Beet and Goat Cheese Tart

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large yellow onion, very thinly sliced (about 2 cups)

1 refrigerated pie crust (half of 15-ounce package)

1 jar (16 ounces) Aunt Nellie’s Sliced Pickled Beets, well drained (See Note)

1 package (8 ounces) herb and garlic-flavored goat cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

Grated or shredded lemon peel (optional)

Directions

Makes 10-12 servings

Preheat oven to 450˚F. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until softened and golden brown for about 15 minutes, reducing heat if necessary. Remove from heat.

Unroll crust and place on ungreased baking sheet. Spread onions evenly over crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange beets over onions and dot with goat cheese. Sprinkle with thyme.

Fold pastry edge over beets crimping edges, leaving center uncovered. Bake until crust is golden, about 20 minutes.

To serve, slice into wedges and garnish with thyme and lemon peel, if desired.
