Roasted Beet Hummus
This Roasted Beet Hummus blends the earthy sweetness of slow-roasted beets with classic chickpeas and tahini for a creamy, vibrantly colored spread. The combination of fresh lemon juice and garlic brightens the flavor, while olive oil ensures a smooth texture. Roasting the beets enhances their natural sugars, deepening the hummus’s flavor profile. It's suitable as a dip, spread, or accompaniment to starters.
