Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces medium-sized beets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 piece garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the beets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Wrap each beet individually with aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool down slightly until you can handle them.
Peel the skins off the beets. This should be easy as the skins will slip off with a little pressure.
Cut the peeled beets into small chunks and place them into a food processor.
Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and peeled garlic clove to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the beet spread to a serving bowl and fold in the chopped fresh dill.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator before serving. Enjoy your beet spread with crackers, bread, or as a dip for fresh vegetables.
