Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces medium beetroots
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beetroots thoroughly and trim the stems and roots.
Wrap each beetroot in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beetroots in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Allow the beetroots to cool slightly, then peel off the skins. The skins should come off easily after roasting.
Roughly chop the peeled beetroots and transfer them to a food processor.
Add the extra virgin olive oil, tahini, fresh lemon juice, garlic cloves, ground cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and water to the food processor.
Process the ingredients until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the processor bowl as necessary.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the beetroot hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the Paleo Beetroot Hummus with vegetable sticks or Paleo crackers.
