Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients

  • 15 ounces chickpeas –drained and rinsed keep the brine for recipes that call for an egg replacer
  • 3 small steamed or roasted baby beets – skinned and chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic – blanched and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons of tahini
  • ¼ cup of lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons of roasted ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil optional
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • To roast the beets:
    Preheat the oven to 400°F
    Clean the beats and rub a small layer of olive oil on them. Roast on a rimmed baking sheet for one hour or until you can easily pierce them with a fork. When they’re cool enough to handle, remove the skin.
  • To steam the beets:
    Wash the beats and remove the skins and cut in half. Place a steamer basket in a large pot and fill with water until it touches the bottom of the basket. Place the beets on top of the basket, cover the pot, and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and boil for approximately thirty minutes or until you can easily pierce them with a fork. Remove from the pot and let them cool.
  • Process the beats in the food processor until they’re creamy. Add the chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, and olive oil and process until thick and creamy.
    Enjoy!

Notes

Use more olive oil for a creamier hummus and less if you want to save on fat and calories.
