I fully admit that until a couple of years ago, beets were my nemesis food. Hated the suckers! But then, on a whim, I tried roasting them – and learned they’re bad. Not bad at all. In fact, they can be 100% incredible! Roasted beets are tender to the bite and taste absolutely delicious. They’re great straight out of the oven, or marinated, or – yep – made into hummus!

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
