Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cauliflower florets
- 200 g Cooked beetroot
- 60 ml Tahini
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 60 ml Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Spread the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the olive oil (15 ml) and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 15 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
While the cauliflower is roasting, roughly chop the cooked beetroot and set aside.
Peel the garlic clove and add it to a food processor.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Add the roasted cauliflower, chopped beetroot, tahini, lemon juice, remaining olive oil (15 ml), ground cumin, salt, and pepper to the food processor.
Blend the mixture on high speed. Slowly add the water until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. You may not need all the water.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
Transfer the beetroot hummus to a serving dish and drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with fresh vegetable sticks or low-carb crackers.
