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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and trim the beets, removing any greens. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.

Step 3

Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a food processor, combine the roasted beets, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Step 6

While the food processor is running, drizzle in the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add an additional pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor, if desired.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve with fresh veggies, pita bread, or crackers, and enjoy!
