Ingredients

• 3 medium beets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beets thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Do not peel them yet.

Step 3

Wrap each beet loosely in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the beets.

Step 5

While the beets are roasting, peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 6

Once the beets are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes until they are easy to handle.

Step 7

Using your hands or a paper towel, gently rub off the skins of the cooled beets. Trim off the ends if necessary.

Step 8

Cut the peeled beets into quarters and place them in a food processor or blender.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water at a time until your desired texture is reached.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 12

Transfer the beet spread to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 13

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy as a dip, spread, or topping!
