Peel the beets and cut into approximately 1 cm wide slices. Mix the honey, olive oil, cumin, and garlic. Sprinkle the beets with a little salt and freshly ground pepper. Ideally, place them flat in one or two freezer bags and cover with the marinade. Fold the open part of the bag up and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Place the marinated slices on a baking sheet. Pour the resulting juices over them and bake in the oven at 180°C for 40-45 minutes. The beets should remain slightly firm to the bite. Shortly before the end of the baking time, distribute the peppers over the slices and sprinkle with the thyme. Let them heat up slightly. Toast the brown bread slices. Arrange the beets on a plate. Place a dollop of goat’s cheese on each slice and garnish. Serve with the brown bread. Serve with a green salad. Tip: This dish also works well with beets.
