Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole medium beets
- 0.25 cups tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
Roast the wrapped beets in the preheated oven for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool. Once cooled, peel off the skins and roughly chop the beets into chunks.
In a food processor, combine the chopped beets, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
If the hummus is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, possibly adding more lemon juice or salt.
Transfer the beet hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired. Serve with fresh vegetables or compliant crackers.
