Things You’ll Need

  • food processor

  • baking sheet

  • tin foil

  • 2 small beets (about 7 oz), tops removed and scrubbed

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and liquid reserved

  • 4 tbs tahini

  • 1 garlic clove

  • 2 tsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

  • 1 lemon, cut in half

  • 3/4 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

  • chickpeas, optional garnish

  • assorted veggies and pita slices, for serving

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°F, with the rack arranged in the center. Drizzle each beet with a little olive oil, and place each one on a square piece of tin foil. Wrap the beets tightly in the tin foil, then place on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the beets are fork tender.

Once beets have cooled, rub their skin off with a paper towel. Roughly chop the beets, then add them to a food processor along with the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, 2 tsp olive oil, juice from 1/2 a lemon, cumin and salt.
