Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium beets
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 Tbsp Tahini
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and roast until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the beets from the oven and let cool. Unwrap and peel off the skin. Chop into chunks. It doesn't have to be precise since you will be blending them.
  • In a food processor add the beets, chickpeas and garlic and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Add in the tahini, lemon juice, salt, cumin and about 2-3 teaspoons of water to blend. Blend until creamy and smooth, adding more water if needed. Serve.
