There is nothing I love more than succulent roasted beets and the combination of goat cheese, honey and mint always leaves your mouth watering for more. Although this recipe requires some knife skills, the overall prep is relatively simple and only requires a few steps. This sweet and savory CBD or CBG infused dish is perfect to start a coursed out meal or as a welcoming appetizer for party guests.
Strain Pairing: Since we’re whipping an infused honey into the goat cheese, this recipe isn’t going to be THC heavy. I like to use CBD strains for their subtle pain-reliving effects. Both beets and CBD have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant benefits (like honey) and even have been shown to slow down the progression of different types of cancer. Something like Suver Haze is a high CBD strain that’ll you get the most out of your infusion.
