Pretty and pink! Basic hummus goes scrumptious and scarlet with roasted beets whirred into the mix.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium beets (about 1 pound total, greens removed and scrubbed clean)
1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) drained, but reserve the liquid
1/3 cup tahini
2 medium cloves garlic
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste (I usually use about 1 teaspoon total)
Olive oil for drizzling on top (if desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place each beet on a square of foil and wrap well. Set on a small baking sheet and bake until easily pierced with a fork, 20-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Using your hands, slip off the outer layer of beet, or use a carrot peeler. Cut into quarters and add to the pitcher of a blender along with the garbanzo beans, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Pulse until pureed, adding bean liquid as needed to get things moving, and puree until completely smooth.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil if desired. Serve with pitas and/or veggies.
