Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium beets
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly and wrap them individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skin using your hands or a vegetable peeler.
While the beets are cooling, open the can of chickpeas and drain and rinse them under cold water.
In a food processor, combine the peeled beets, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and water.
Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add additional water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the beet hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Enjoy with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or as a spread on sandwiches.
