Roasted Beet Hummus

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 (or 200).

Place the beets on a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1½ teaspoons olive oil. Fold and crimp the edges to create a purse

Place the garlic (with the skin on) on a small piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Fold and crimp the edges to create a purse.

Place the foil packages on a rimmed baking sheet and slide onto the middle rack of your preheated oven. Roast the beets for 45 to 50 minutes and the garlic for only 25 minutes.

Remove and let them cool before handling.

Once the beets are cool enough to handle, working with one beet at a time, using a kitchen towel (may stain your towel) or paper towels to rub their skins off. Cut into quarters and place into the bowl of your food processor that's fitted with the blade attachment.

Peel the skins off of the garlic cloves and add to your food processor along with the lemon juice, tahini and a pinch or two of salt.

Secure the lid and process until smooth. Taste and season with more salt if desired.

Serve in a shallow bowl, drizzled with extra olive oil (if desired) and sprinkled with everything seasoning.
