Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 Medium Beets 2 if they are on the bigger side, 3 if they are smaller
  • 15.5 Ounce Can of Chickpeas
  • 1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 Cup Tahini
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Za'Atar spice to top optional
  • Sliced veggies and/or chips to serve

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Wash and scrub the beets, do not pat dry as the beets will use the moisture while cooking
  • Wrap each individual beet separately in loose tinfoil
  • Drizzle each beet with some olive oil before closing the tinfoil tightly
  • Bake the beets for 45-60 minutes (depending on the size). They should be tender enough for a fork to go through the beets easily.
  • When the beets are done and cooled for a few minutes, use a paper towel to gently rub the skin off (it should come off very easily after roasting)
  • Chop the beets into bite sized pieces
  • Rinse and drain the can of chickpeas
  • Place the beets, chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, salt and pepper into a food processor
  • Blend until smooth. Add more tahini or olive oil if you like the texture to be lighter and creamier.
  • Place hummus into a bowl and using the back of your spoon, brush a swirl into the hummus
  • Drizzle with the Black Seed Oil or Olive Oil and sprinkle the top with some Za'Atar spices
  • Serve with sliced veggies or chips
  • Serve and enjoy!
