Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large fresh beetroot
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beetroot, then wrap them individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beetroot on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the beetroot from the oven and let them cool enough to handle. Once cooled, peel the skins off.
Chop the peeled beetroot into smaller chunks and transfer them to a food processor.
Add the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, peeled garlic cloves, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Add the Greek yogurt to the food processor and blend again until completely combined and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You may add more salt or lemon juice depending on your preference.
Transfer the beetroot dip into a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of cumin if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
