Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces fresh beetroot, medium-sized
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beetroots thoroughly and trim off the leaves, leaving a small amount of stem attached.
Wrap each beetroot individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beetroots in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the beetroots from the oven and let them cool until they are easy to handle.
Once cooled, peel the beetroots by rubbing the skin gently with your fingers; it should come off easily.
Chop the peeled beetroots into small chunks and place them in a food processor.
Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the beetroot dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the dip with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or your choice of crackers.
