Beet Toast with Crème Fraiche and Dill

Move over avocado toast, you are soo 5 years ago- I'm sorry, I didn't mean it- I still love you Avo! But why should avocados get all the love? My beet toast with crème fraiche and dill is just what your toast has been missing. Bright, earthy, and a little sweet, it's the perfect combo!

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • toaster

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium beets
  • 2 slices bread of choice whole grain, rustic or sourdough are good choices
  • ½ cup crème fraiche
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup microgreens or arugula
  • olive oil and balsamic vinegar for drizzling
  • 2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°. Wash the beets and remove the tops and roots- no need to peel. Wrap each beet tightly in aluminum foil. Roast for about 50 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool. When cool, use your fingers to slip off off the skins (make sure the beets are cool enough to handle). Slice into ¼-1/8 rounds. Set aside.
  • Toast the bread until golden and firm.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chopped dill and crème fraiche. Divide the crème fraiche mixture and spread evenly over each slice of toast.
  • Place the sliced beets over the toast, overlapping so they cover the bread.
  • Add greens, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic, and sprinkle the tops with the flaky sea salt and dill. Serve immediately.
