Ingredients
- 3 medium beets
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and trim the beets, then wrap each beet in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Once roasted, let the beets cool slightly before handling. Peel off the skins and chop them into smaller pieces.
Step 5
In a food processor, combine the chopped beets, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add the water gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice or salt to taste.
Step 8
Transfer the beet hummus to a serving bowl, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Step 9
Serve the beet hummus with vegetable sticks, paleo crackers, or as a spread on your favorite paleo-friendly bread.
