Ingredients

  • 3 medium beets about 3 inches in diameter, stems/leaves removed
  • ½ cup Tahini pure sesame paste
  • 3 TB freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • toasted sesame seeds for garnish
  • Pita chips or tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Do Ahead: Preheat toaster oven or regular oven to 400F. Wrap beets individually in foil. Roast in oven about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until tender when pierced with fork. Carefully remove foil and let cool completely. Remove skin once cool (will be very easy.)
  2. In a heavy duty blender or food processor, combine roasted beets, Tahini, lemon juice, garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Blend or process on medium high until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, scrape hummus into serving bowl. Drizzle with desired amount of olive oil (I use about 2-3 TB.) If desired, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  3. Serve with soft pita bread, crispy pita chips, or tortilla chips. Can be kept chilled, in airtight container, for several days.
