Ingredients
3 Large beets, washed and cut into wedges (about 1 1/2 lbs)
6 sprigs Fresh thyme plus 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
7 tbs Extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 Large ribs celery, sliced 1 inch thick
1 tsp Walnut oil

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place beets and thyme sprigs in large bowl; drizzle with 2 TBS of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly; spread on baking sheet. Roast beets 35 to 40 minutes or until just tender and can be pierced with a sharp knife. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs.

3. Arrange greens on individual chilled plates. Top with beet mixture, then with goat cheese, and serve.
