Beet Hummus - Ful-Filled

A colorful and nourishing take on traditional hummus is called Ful-filled Beet Hummus. Roasted beets give it a beautiful magenta color and a flavor that is slightly sweet and earthy. This dip is a great option for a healthy snack or for parties and get-togethers.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized beets, roasted and peeled
• 1 can 15 ounces chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2-3 tablespoons water as needed
• Fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Start by roasting the beets

Preheat your oven to 400F 200C

Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork

Let them cool, then peel and chop into chunks

In a food processor, combine the roasted beets, chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pepper

Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy

If it's too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of water, one at a time, until you reach your desired consistency

Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed

Transfer the beet hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley leaves

Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a dip for your favorite snacks
