At a glance
This beetroot spread gets its incredible depth of flavor from slow-roasting the beets for two hours rather than boiling them. After blending the roasted beetroot with creamy ricotta, goat cheese, and walnuts, you'll want to chill it for a few hours so everything comes together beautifully. It's a showstopper snack that works great on baguettes or as a side dish, and you can roast extra beetroot to have on hand for other meals.

Roast the beetroot in foil
Wrap the beetroot tightly in foil, each one separately. Roast at around 230–250°C for two hours. Once roasted, peel the beetroot and use as you like. It's so good that you can simply drizzle it with olive oil and add a pinch of salt.

Blend everything together
Cut the roasted, peeled beetroot into pieces. Blend it together with the rest of the ingredients. Let it cool, and ideally leave it in the fridge for a few hours so all the flavours can blend nicely.
