Roasted Beet Hummus
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup chopped beets, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
• 3 tablespoons tahini sauce
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Feta cheese, for serving
• Potter's crackers or pita chips, for serving
• Mint leaves, for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375°.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the beets with a pinch of salt and pepper and a small dose of extra virgin olive oil. Stir to combine and place on a baking sheet, roast for 30 minutes, flipping the beets one time halfway through cooking. After roasted, set aside until cooled to room temperature.
In a food processor, blend together the chickpeas, beets, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. Continue to blend until smooth. If the mixture is too dense, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend until the hummus reaches the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste and top with a sprinkle of Feta cheese and mint leaves, enjoy!
