Ingredients

1 medium to large beet
1 can chickpeas, drain (15.5 ounce can)
1 large garlic clove
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ to ¾ teaspoon salt (I used ¾ teaspoon)
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon sugar

Instructions

Roast the Beets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Wash the beet thoroughly, then wrap it tightly in foil and place it in a baking dish. Roast for about 1 hour, or until a fork pierces the beet easily. Let it cool before using.
👉 Roasted beets can also be cooked ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Prepare the Beets: Slice off the top and bottom of the beetroot. Using a paper towel or the edge of a butter knife, gently rub the beet to loosen and remove the skin. Then, chop the peeled beet into large chunks.
Blend Hummus: Add chopped beets, and all remaining ingredients into a food processor and process for 3 to 5 minutes, until the hummus is smooth and creamy.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy the hummus with toasted pita chips, fresh vegetables, or baguette slices, or use it as a flavorful spread in wraps.

Notes

Prevent staining - To prevent staining your wooden cutting board or fingers, line it with plastic wrap before working and also wear a pair of kitchen gloves.

Tahini - Different brands of tahini vary significantly in fat and flavor. Be sure to use hulled tahini, not unhulled. Unhulled tahini is made using whole black sesame seeds and is slightly bitter in taste and darker in color.
