Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 beet red beet roasted and peeled
  • 1.5 cup cooked chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 0.25 cup tahini
  • 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic roughly chopped
  • 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon cold water as needed to thin
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil for serving (optional)
  • 0.5 teaspoon sesame seeds for serving (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets tightly in foil, place on a small baking sheet, and roast until fork-tender, 45 to 60 minutes depending on size.
  • Let beets cool until comfortable to handle, then rub off skins with a paper towel and roughly chop.
  • Add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper to a food processor. Pulse to combine.
  • Add chopped roasted beets. With the motor running, stream in olive oil, then blend until very smooth, adding cold water as needed to reach a creamy, scoopable consistency.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, lemon, or cumin as desired.
  • Transfer to a bowl. Swirl the top and finish with a drizzle of olive oil, sesame seeds, and parsley if using. Serve with pita, crackers, or veggies.

Notes

Short on time? Use pre-cooked refrigerated beets and skip roasting. For a lighter dip, replace some tahini with extra lemon juice and water. Hummus thickens in the fridge; stir in a splash of water before serving if needed.
