Hummus Recipe ♯ Beet Hummus

A twist on traditional hummus, this version is tangy, earthy, and a refreshing change of pace. Using a high-quality balsamic will result in a tarter, more intense flavor.

Ingredients

• 3 beets
• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 large cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon spearmint, chopped
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Wrap beets in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
3. Roast beets in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Unwrap carefully; let cool until easily handled, 5 to 10 minutes. Peel and chop into large chunks.
4. Combine beets, garbanzo beans, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, balsamic vinegar, garlic, spearmint, cumin, salt, and pepper in a food processor; blend until smooth.
