Ingredients

• 3 medium beets
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 small red onion
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 0.5 cup feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 large baguette
• 1 large garlic clove
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and trim the beets, wrapping each one individually in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped beets onto a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the beets are roasting, thinly slice the baguette into 1/2-inch rounds. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and drizzle them lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Rub one side of each toasted slice with the cut side of the garlic clove for flavor. Set aside.

Step 4

Once the beets are tender, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly, then peel off the skins using your hands or a paper towel. Be careful, as the beets can stain easily.

Step 5

Dice the peeled beets into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 6

Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley. Add both to the bowl with the diced beets.

Step 7

Add the orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the beet mixture. Toss well to combine.

Step 8

Crumble the feta cheese and gently fold it into the beet relish mixture.

Step 9

To assemble, spoon the beet relish onto the toasted crostini just before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
