Instructions

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Wash beets and then cut the greens off the top and the little root off the bottom. Use a vegetable peeler, or pairing knife, to peel the skin off. Then, use a sharp knife to slice the beets into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Add beets to a large sheetpan and then drizzle on the olive oil and season with salt. Use your hands to mix together until beet slices are coated with oil and salt. Roast Beets until fork tender, 15-20 minutes, flipping once. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Add the softened goat cheese to a medium sized bowl and then add in the horseradish cream, chopped dill and a pinch of salt. Mix together until completely combined.
Add the arugula to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice and tamari. Season with salt and black pepper and then toss salad to make sure arugula is completely coated with the dressing. The baguette, or bread, can be toasted if preferred.
Assemble the sandwiches, for each sandwich spread the bottom slice of bread with 1-2 tablespoons of the horseradish goat cheese mixture, top with a few slices of the roasted beets and lastly, add on a handful of the dressed arugula. Cut sandwiches in half and enjoy with chips, fries or veggies.
