Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Beets
- 1.5 cups Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 0.25 cups Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beets, removing any greens. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Allow the roasted beets to cool. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skin (it should slide off easily). Cut the beets into quarters.
In a food processor, combine the roasted beets, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.
While the food processor is running, drizzle in the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add an additional pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor, if desired.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil, and garnish with optional toppings like sesame seeds, fresh herbs (parsley or dill), or a sprinkle of paprika.
Serve with fresh veggies, pita bread, or crackers, and enjoy!
