Hi Steemit Family!

Today, I want to share the succulent, colorful, fresh, healthy and above all very easy to prepare, roasted beet hummus recipe. This vibrant middle-eastern condiment couldn't be easier; few ingredients in the food processor and let the magic be! Roasted beets add a delicious twist to the traditional hummus and you can serve it with veggie chips, crudités, pita chips or tartines. I had mine on a toasted slice of pain de campagne, topped with chèvre, olive oil , walnuts, coriander and red pepper flakes. Simply, amazing!

Roasting beets takes a lot of time (1-2 hours). If you are in a hurry, don't panic! You can use canned beets or boil them until tender

Ingredients:

1. 1 chickpeas can
2. 3 small beets
3. ¼ cup water
4. 2 tbsp good quality tahini sauce
5. ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
6. ½ tsp cumin powder
7. 2 pressed garlic cloves
8. Juice of one lemon
9. 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Direction:

1. Heat oven to 350°C.
2. Wash your beets and place on parchment paper in a baking sheet.
3. Drain chickpeas then rinse with cold water.
4. Place all the ingredients in a food processor.
5. Blend for 3 minutes.
6. Scrape the sides and blend for 2 minutes. Scrape again and blend for 3 more minutes or until very creamy.

Totally in love with the vibrant pink color of this roasted beetroot hummus! Doesn’t it look pretty?
