1. Roast the Beets:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap whole beets in foil and roast for 45-50 minutes until tender.
Let cool, then peel and slice thinly (use a mandoline for even slices).
2. Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, combine goat cheese, chopped pistachios, honey, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble the Log:
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Arrange beet slices in an overlapping rectangular layer.
Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over the beets.
Using the plastic wrap, carefully roll into a tight log. Twist the ends to secure.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to firm up.
4. Garnish & Serve:
Unwrap the log and roll it in crushed pistachios and parsley.
Slice into rounds and serve with crackers or toasted bread.
