Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium beetroots
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beetroots thoroughly and wrap each one in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beetroots on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender and a fork can easily pierce them.
Once cooked, remove the beetroots from the oven, unwrap them, and let them cool slightly.
Peel the beetroots by rubbing off the skins with your fingers while wearing gloves or using a paper towel to avoid staining your hands.
Roughly chop the peeled beetroots and place them in a food processor.
Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, cumin, coriander, and water to the food processor.
Blend everything together until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if desired.
Transfer the beetroot dip to a serving bowl.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with crackers, raw vegetables, or use as a sandwich spread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
