Method

Preparation

Roast the beet until tender, then chop it into small pieces.

Mixing

In a food processor, add the chopped beet, cooked chickpeas, lime juice, olive oil, tahini, sea salt, ground black pepper, and garlic cloves.
Process the mixture until it reaches a creamy consistency, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Sample the hummus and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if desired.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Store hummus in an airtight container for up to five days. For a silkier texture, add a splash of water or more olive oil when blending.
