Ingredients

• 3 whole medium red beets
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground sweetener (e.g., erythritol or allulose)
• 2 tablespoons water (optional, for consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beets thoroughly and trim off any leaves or stems. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.

Step 3

Place the wrapped beets on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces through the center.

Step 4

Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool until they are safe to handle. Peel off the skins by rubbing them gently with your hands or a paper towel.

Step 5

Chop the peeled beets into smaller chunks and place them in a food processor.

Step 6

Add the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and sweetener to the food processor.

Step 7

Blend the mixture until smooth. If the spread is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and continue blending until desired consistency is achieved.

Step 8

Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container for storage. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve as a dip with low-carb vegetables like cucumber slices or as a spread for keto crackers or wraps. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
