Ingredients

  • 4 petite golden beets, delicately trimmed and peeled
  • A drizzle of olive oil, to coat
  • A can of great northern beans (15.5 ounces), with its liquid set aside
  • 3 spoonfuls of tahini, for creaminess
  • Zesty lemon juice (2 tablespoons), for a citrus kick
  • A touch of balsamic vinegar (1 teaspoon), for depth
  • Ground cumin (1 teaspoon) for warm earthiness
  • A hint of ground turmeric (½ teaspoon) for a golden hue
  • Sea salt (½ teaspoon), to taste
  • 1 clove of garlic, for a gentle kick

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) for a toasty environment. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with shiny aluminum foil for easy cleanup and less mess.

Step 2

Take the beets, slice them into quarters, and gently coat them with flavorful olive oil in a large bowl. Carefully arrange the beet quarters on the awaiting baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spread out.

Step 3

Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the beets roast until they are tender enough for a knife to effortlessly pierce through them, which should take about 35 to 40 minutes. Once done, allow them to cool down a bit for easier handling.

Step 4

In a food processor, combine the roasted beets with beans, tahini, freshly squeezed lemon juice, rich balsamic vinegar, aromatic cumin, vibrant turmeric, a touch of sea salt, and pungent garlic. Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, adjusting with a bit of reserved bean liquid if needed to reach your desired texture.

Step 5

Transfer the luscious beet hummus into a beautiful serving bowl, ready to be enjoyed with your favorite dippables or as a spread for a delightful culinary experience.
