Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized beets, roasted and peeled

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

2-3 tablespoons water (adjust for desired consistency)

Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley) for garnish

Extra olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Roast the Beets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45-60 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Once done, let them cool, then peel and chop into smaller pieces.

    Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the roasted beets, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and salt.

      Process Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, processing after each addition until you reach your desired consistency.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as necessary — you may want more salt, lemon juice, or garlic depending on your preference.

          Serve: Transfer the beet hummus to a serving bowl. Create a little swirl with the back of a spoon, and drizzle with extra olive oil. Garnish with fresh herbs.

            Enjoy: Serve with pita chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or use as a spread in your sandwiches and wraps.
