Roasted Red Beet Hummus Recipes

CREAMY BEET HUMMUS

Steps:

• In the large bowl of a food processor fitted with blade, place chickpeas, cooked beets, tahini, garlic, lemon juice. Season with salt and spices.
• Run processor for a bit, and while it's running, add 2 ice cubes (this helps whip the beet hummus to a nice creamy consistency.)
• Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Run processor again if the hummus is too thick yet, adding a little more ice as it runs (you can let it run for 4 minutes or so until you reach your desired creamy texture.)
• Transfer beet hummus to a bowl. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle feta and parsley on top. Serve with pita wedges or homemade pita chips and veggies for dipping.

ROASTED RED BEET HUMMUS

Steps:

• 1. Wash and trim the red beets and then wrap them in tinfoil. Place them in baking dish with 1/8 inch of water and roast them for about an hour at 375 degrees 2. In a small sauce pan, add two tablespoons of sesame seeds and just enough olive oil to coat. You don't want to dominate the sesame seed flavor with olive oil. 3. Cook them over a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or as needed. When the mixture looks like the photo below, remove them from the stove. 4. When the red beats are fully cooked (you can tell by poking them with a knife) then remove them from the oven and let cook. Once cooled, peel them and cube them. 5. Add the following ingredients to your food processor: the cup of chickpeas, the garlic, the two tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds, the roasted beets and a pinch of salt. 6. Add 1/2 of the lemon juice to the mixture and puree it. Add more lemon as needed. 7. Salt to taste and serve. Enjoy!
