Instructions
To Roast Beet:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Trim beet stalks and wash beet thoroughly. Wrap damp beet in foil and place onto a baking sheet or pan. Roast beet for 30-50 minutes, depending on the size, until a fork or knife can easily pierce through the middle of the beet. Remove from oven and let cool before peeling. Set aside the peeled beet until ready to use. Can be made the day before and stored in an airtight container in the fridge until needed.
To Make Beet Hummus:
- Into the bowl of a food processor, combine chickpeas, peeled roasted beet, garlic, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, tahini, a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and adjust seasonings to taste. If needed, add a splash of water for better blending. Place into a serving dish and top with extra lemon zest or a drizzle of olive oil. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
To Make Curried Hummus:
- Into the bowl of a food processor, combine chickpeas, coconut milk, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, curry powder, 1 teaspoon sriracha, (add more to taste) garam masala, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
