Roasted Beet Hummus Recipes

Steps:

• Wrap beets in foil and roast them at 425 degree F. for one hour or until soft.
• Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. You may need to add a little water if the mixture is too thick.

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, beets, mint, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and 1/4 cup water. Blend until smooth, and season with salt and pepper. Serve with crudite or chips.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Quarter beets and toss in a bowl with olive oil. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until a knife can be easily inserted into a beet, 35 to 40 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Place the beets in a food processor along with the beans, tahini, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, cumin, turmeric, sea salt, and garlic. Blend until smooth, adding small amounts of reserved bean liquid if the consistency is too thick. Transfer hummus to a serving bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a bowl toss the chickpeas, garlic, oil and spices.
• Place the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes or until beans are slightly "crisp" and golden. Stir the beans occasionally while baking so that they roast evenly. (If the garlic looks as if it may be roasting too quickly, remove and continue baking the chickpeas).
• Once roasted, set beans aside to cool.
• In a blender combine the chickpeas, peeled roasted garlic, tahini, salt and lemon juice. Add about 1/3 cup of the reserved chickpea liquid. Blend until smooth, adding more cooking liquid if necessary to aid in blending. Stop machine and scrap down the sides with a spatula. Blend again until smooth, adding liquid as needed.
• Adjust seasoning. Transfer to serving bowl, cover tightly and refrigerate.
• When ready to serve, garnish with fresh parsley sprig. Serve the hummus with pita chips, French bread, cut up vegetables, etc.
• Hummus is best prepared at least 1 hour in advance, but ideally 3 hours is better.

Steps:

• Combine beets, chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, salt, and cumin in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until pureed. Pour reserved chickpea liquid in slowly, with the processor running, until hummus is smooth and desired consistency is achieved.
