Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized beets, roasted and peeled

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

3 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

2-3 tablespoons water (as needed for consistency)

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Pita chips or vegetable sticks (for serving)

Instructions
 

Roast the Beets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast them for 45-60 minutes until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool, peel, and chop into small pieces.

    Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, add the roasted beets, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. You want a creamy consistency; if it’s too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired texture.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if needed. You might want to add more lemon juice, salt, or cumin depending on your preference.

          Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the top and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve with pita chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or spread on sandwiches.
