Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium beets
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beets, then wrap each beet in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Once roasted, let the beets cool slightly before handling. Peel off the skins and chop them into smaller pieces.
In a food processor, combine the chopped beets, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add the water gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice or salt to taste.
Transfer the beet hummus to a serving bowl, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve the beet hummus with vegetable sticks, paleo crackers, or as a spread on your favorite paleo-friendly bread.
