Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- If using raw beets, wash them clean of sand and dirt. Set aside to air dry or dry well with a towel or paper towel. If using roasted beets, proceed to food processor step.
- Toss the beets in a mixing bowl with oil, thyme, a few pinches of salt and about 15 grinds of pepper.
- Turn the beets out onto a baking sheet and roast until fork tender, shaking the pan occasionally to insure even cooking, about 40 minutes.
- Remove beets from oven and set aside to cool. (You can do this up to a couple days ahead of time if you store them sealed in the refrigerator.)
- Remove and discard the skins from the beets. Cut beets into quarters. Add the beet quarters to a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until beets are roughed up into small but still chunky pieces.
- Dump the blended beets into a serving bowl. Crumble the goat cheese into the beets and add the chives and lemon juice. Toss together and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve with crostini or breadsticks.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until the nuts turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully because they burn quickly. Set walnuts aside to cool to room temperature.
- Turn oven up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Crinkle up a piece of aluminum foil and place it into an oven-safe dish (such as a pie dish) to act as a disposable rack. Place beet onto foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the beet just starts to turn tender, about 45 minutes. Wrap beet in aluminum foil and let cool to room temperature.
- Turn oven temperature up to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
- Peel beet with a sharp paring knife; peel skin from beet. Cut beet in half and cut halves into thick half-moon-shaped slices.
- Drizzle walnut oil in a baking dish and brush oil over the bottom of the dish; arrange beet slices in the dish in a single layer. Crumble goat cheese into the empty spaces and over beets. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Bake beet and cheese in oven until beet pieces are sizzling and the edges of the cheese are slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle warm beet and cheese with vinegar and top with roasted walnuts, beet greens, and chives. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and smooth, without any blemishes or bruises. Freshly dug beets are best, but you can also use beets that have been stored for a few weeks.
- Roast the beets properly: Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness and intensifies their flavor. To roast the beets, simply toss them with a little olive oil and salt, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until they are tender.
- Use high-quality goat cheese: The goat cheese in this dip adds a creamy and tangy flavor. Be sure to use a high-quality goat cheese that has a smooth texture and a mild flavor.
- Toast the hazelnuts: Toasting the hazelnuts brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more fragrant. To toast the hazelnuts, simply spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Season the dip to taste: Once you have made the dip, taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
