There's a place down the street that serves raw beet ravioli, where the beets are the pasta and sandwiching a sweet/savory almond cream.These toasts are a nod in that delicious direction, re-starched.

Peel a/some beet/s and then slice crosswise very, very thinly. With a mandoline, perhaps. Or with your best knife and skillz. Place these slices in a bowl and salt slightly. Set aside.

Meanwhile, brush some olive oil onto thinly-sliced slices of bread. Place these onto a cookie sheet and toast in a 400° F oven for a few minutes.

Cut a peeled clove of garlic in half crosswise and then rub the cut side onto the pieces of toast. Top with a slice of beet, a spoonful of ricotta, salt and pepper, and then some toasted, sliced almonds. taste it.
