Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Crackers
Can you believe we are approaching the holiday season?
I am so excited to get in the holiday spirit!
Decorations, baking, inviting immediate family over, singing songs, and having fun.
This year we won’t be able to travel as we usually do. To compensate, I am turning my house into Chanukkah central. My kids have been convincing me to get a Hanukkah Bush… I honestly have no idea what it is, so we shall see.
Due to the Pandemic, we’re not having parties with friends, but we will see our close cousins, siblings, parents, etc.
These Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Crackers are super easy to make, super delicious, and festive. The flavor and textures are perfectly balanced.
When I first made them, I kept thinking that something was missing in terms of flavor. It needed something to make it pop. The reduced balsamic vinegar was the answer. Only a drop on top makes the difference.
For the beets, you can roast them yourself (like I did) or you can buy them pre-roasted at the produce section in your local Publix. Gotta love convenience!
Now let’s talk about the crackers. Not only are they a vessel for the beet and cheese, but they also play a very important role in the crunch and flavor of these morsels.
For this recipe, I went with WHEAT THINS crackers. They are great on their own, or they can be combined with your favorite toppings for a simple yet tasty treat that the whole family can enjoy.
Right now, you can save $1 on WHEAT THINS crackers at Publix from 12/19/20 to 1/1/21. Click HERE for details.
