Ingredients

• 3 medium beetroots
• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beetroots thoroughly and wrap each one in aluminum foil.

Step 3

Place the wrapped beetroots on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender and a fork can easily pierce them.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove the beetroots from the oven, unwrap them, and let them cool slightly.

Step 5

Peel the beetroots by rubbing off the skins with your fingers while wearing gloves or using a paper towel to avoid staining your hands.

Step 6

Roughly chop the peeled beetroots and place them in a food processor.

Step 7

Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, cumin, coriander, and water to the food processor.

Step 8

Blend everything together until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if desired.

Step 9

Transfer the beetroot dip to a serving bowl.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately with crackers, raw vegetables, or use as a sandwich spread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
