Ingredients
- 3 medium fresh red beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and trim the stem and root ends of the beets. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool completely. Once cooled, peel the skins off the beets and cut them into chunks.
Step 5
In a food processor, combine the beet chunks, olive oil, cream cheese, garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and Greek yogurt.
Step 6
Pulse the mixture until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Step 7
Finely chop the fresh dill and fold it into the beet spread.
Step 8
Transfer the beet spread to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve chilled as a dip with carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or spread onto low-carb bread or crackers.
