Fancy a really fine autumn-winter dish? Today we have beet carpaccio with goat cheese, nuts and arugula. My absolute favorite dish in the cold months.
For a long time I have not eaten beet. And if, then at most as a salad. Two years ago I really got a taste for it and love to experiment with the red tubers.
This resulted in spreads, risotto, salads, tarte flambée and much more. And of course this beet carpaccio with goat cheese. If you have discovered the earthy taste of beet for yourself, then you will love this recipe!
Vegetarian carpaccio is a typical soul food. It provides plenty of nutrients, gives strength and tastes at the same time stunningly delicious.
And most importantly, it takes just 20 minutes in total to get the dish on the table.
Sounds like a good plan, right? Let me tell you a little bit about the ingredients before I tell you the recipe.
Delicious: beet spread with cream cheese!
What ingredients make the beet carpaccio with goat cheese
There are so many incredible recipes. I like to be inspired a little by what the garden has to offer. This is also how this delicious carpaccio came about.
You can vary the ingredients. If you are looking for inspiration, scroll down to the bottom of the recipe. You will find many ingredients that also fit wonderfully into the recipe.
Beet - The star of the meal
First, of course, we need beet. It is the main ingredient, along with goat cheese. And that's just as well. Because in my opinion beet is the best invention ever. The blood-red tuber brings color into the food. At the same time beet are also very healthy.
Beet contains a lot of vitamins and minerals. At the same time, it is quite low in calories. In 100 grams are just 41 calories, which is really little for root vegetables.
The tuber owes its color to the natural pigment betanin, which has antioxidant properties. Thus, the beet carpaccio helps you break down cell-damaging free radicals.
You find in the beets
- vitamins: B1, B2, B6, vitamin C, beta-carotene as a precursor for vitamin A and folic acid.
- also the minerals calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, sodium, magnesium and phosphate
A real vitamin bundle, so to speak!

Goat cheese brings pizzazz to the dish
Goat cheese is perfect for low carb cuisine and for all those who value low carbohydrate consumption. In 100 grams you will find just 0.5 grams of carbohydrates. But 14 grams of protein and 29 grams of fat.
Due to the high fat content, it compensates for the missing calories of the beet. Depending on the variety, the cheese comes to about 300 calories per 100 grams.
Its tangy, salty flavor complements the earthy flavor of the beets and is a pretty awesome contrast in color, too. You have several options. Either you opt for fresh goat cheese, goat cheese in a roll, or feta.
Herbs, spices and nuts
For me, nuts can not be missing in autumn dishes. They are not only delicious, but also enhance the recipe with their vegetable fats. Especially walnuts go very well with the cheese and beets. But of course you can also use other nuts.
So easy you make beet falafel yourself!
The walnut is the only nut with a significant omega 3 fat content. Put them on your menu more often!
Otherwise, I was able to find plenty of thyme in the garden, which went straight into the recipe. And you know what? He fits so incredibly well to the beet carpaccio with goat cheese and nuts, that I could hardly believe it at first. I was really very positively surprised by this mix.
You can go wild with the dressing. I keep it pretty classic for time reasons: apple cider vinegar, olive oil and a little orange juice.

- Cut the apple into thin slices with a vegetable slicer. Sprinkle it with a little lemon so that it does not turn brown. Now slice the beet with the vegetable slicer. Arrange the beetroot and the apple in a circle on the plates.
- Put the arugula on the plate. Sprinkle the walnuts on top.
