Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Beets
- 1 cup Cauliflower florets
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly and wrap them individually in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the beets are roasting, steam the cauliflower florets for about 8-10 minutes until tender.
Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel the skin off using your fingers or a knife, then roughly chop them.
In a food processor, combine the roasted beets, steamed cauliflower, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, olive oil, cumin, salt, pepper, and water.
Blend the ingredients until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor as necessary. Feel free to add more water if needed, to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if required.
Transfer the beet hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with low-carb vegetables or your choice of low-carb crackers.
