Ingredients:
1 -2 roasted beets
1 15-oz. can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1 lemon, zested
1/2 large lemon, juiced
1 good pinch salt and black pepper
1 tsp cumin
1-2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp tahini
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
First roast the beets…..You will need one for this recipe.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F remove the stem and most of the root from your beets, and scrub and wash them underwater until clean.
Wrap beet and the garlic together in foil, drizzle on a bit of olive oil, wrap tightly, and roast for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted falls out easily. They should be very tender. Set in the fridge (in a bowl - it can be a mess) to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, the skin can be removed easily.
Next……
Once your beet is cooled and peeled, quarter it and place it in your food processor. Blend until only small bits remain.
Add remaining ingredients except for olive oil and blend until smooth.
Drizzle in olive oil as the hummus is mixing.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil if needed. If it’s too thick, add a bit of water.
