Ingredients
- 2 medium beets
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beets thoroughly and wrap them individually in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skin using your hands or a vegetable peeler.
Step 5
While the beets are cooling, open the can of chickpeas and drain and rinse them under cold water.
Step 6
In a food processor, combine the peeled beets, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and water.
Step 7
Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add additional water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 8
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the beet hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Enjoy with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or as a spread on sandwiches.
