Default can you transplant beets and chard?

My beets sprouted but then over time dissappeared. The soil is pretty course and the slugs probably got them before they could get true leaves. Only two are left out of a 15 foot row. Can I plant them in potting mix in cell flats and then transplant? Or do they need to be direct seeded for taproot development? I think I still have time to get a crop in, but direct seeding again isn't going to work
