Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium fresh red beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the stem and root ends of the beets. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool completely. Once cooled, peel the skins off the beets and cut them into chunks.
In a food processor, combine the beet chunks, olive oil, cream cheese, garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and Greek yogurt.
Pulse the mixture until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Finely chop the fresh dill and fold it into the beet spread.
Transfer the beet spread to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a dip with carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or spread onto low-carb bread or crackers.
