Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole medium red beets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground sweetener (e.g., erythritol or allulose)
- 2 tablespoons water (optional, for consistency)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly and trim off any leaves or stems. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beets on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces through the center.
Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool until they are safe to handle. Peel off the skins by rubbing them gently with your hands or a paper towel.
Chop the peeled beets into smaller chunks and place them in a food processor.
Add the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and sweetener to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth. If the spread is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and continue blending until desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container for storage. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve as a dip with low-carb vegetables like cucumber slices or as a spread for keto crackers or wraps. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
