Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put a 1/4-inch layer of salt in the bottom of a small baking dish. Place the beets on top of the salt, making sure they are not touching each other. Cover the beets with the remaining salt (save some for seasoning) and bake until fork-tender, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove the beets from the salt and let cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: Puree the goat cheese, creme fraiche, olive oil, vinegar and shallot in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sage leaves and fry until crisp, 5 to 10 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season lightly with salt.
- Peel the beets (the skins will slip right off) and slice into thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife. Divide the beet slices among plates. Spoon some of the goat cheese dressing on top. Put the arugula in a bowl, drizzle with the lemon juice and olive oil, season with salt and toss. Add the arugula salad to the plates; drizzle with more goat cheese dressing, if desired. Top with the pine nuts and fried sage.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place beets on sheet (if using both light- and dark-colored beets, place them on separate sheets to prevent discoloration). Sprinkle beets lightly with water. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until beets are tender when pierced with fork, about 40 minutes. Cool on sheet. Peel beets. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Place in resealable plastic bag; chill.)
- Using cheese slicer or knife, slice beets very thinly. Slightly overlap slices on 6 plates, dividing equally. Sprinkle with cheese, then shallot, salt, and pepper. Whisk vinegar, mint, oil, and sugar in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over beets. Sprinkle with chives.
Tips:
- Choose the best beets: Select firm, smooth beets with deep red color. Avoid beets with blemishes or bruises.
- Use a mandoline slicer: A mandoline slicer will help you achieve thin, even slices of beets. If you don't have a mandoline slicer, you can use a sharp knife, but be careful to slice the beets as thinly as possible.
- Marinate the beets: Marinating the beets in a mixture of olive oil, vinegar, and herbs will help to enhance their flavor and color.
- Use high-quality goat cheese: Fresh, creamy goat cheese will add a delicious tang to the carpaccio. Avoid using pre-packaged or processed goat cheese.
- Top with fresh arugula: Arugula's peppery flavor will complement the sweetness of the beets and goat cheese.
Conclusion:
Beet carpaccio with goat cheese and arugula is a beautiful and delicious appetizer or light meal. It's easy to make and can be prepared in advance. The combination of sweet beets, tangy goat cheese, and peppery arugula is sure to please everyone at your table.
