Begin by scrubbing the exterior of the beet to remove any dirt from the skin. Remove tops from the beets.
Make 4, 6” x 6” squares of aluminum foil. Place a beet in the center of each square.
Drizzle beets with olive oil and just a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Wrap the foil around the beet until it is completely enclosed.
Place beets in your slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours.
For the Goat Cheese Sauce, combine the cheese olive oil, basil, and thyme in a blender. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
When removing the packages from the slow cooker, carefully open the aluminum foil and allow any steam to escape (they will be very hot!!)
Once the beets are cool, remove the skins with a small knife – the skins should just fall off. Serve with goat cheese sauce and fresh basil. Enjoy!
