Roasted Golden Beet Hummus Recipes

Steps:

• 1. If the beets are medium size cut in half-if small, leave whole. *Wrap up the beets in aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour at 375 degrees until very soft. Set aside to cool briefly. *Note: you can also roast the whole garlic cloves with the beets if desired. They won't take as long to roast and you'll have to remove them from the oven after about 30 minutes of roasting time.
• 2. If desired, peel the beets (I don't). Cut into chunks and place the beets in a food processor along with the rest of the hummus ingredients. PULSE to desired consistency adding more olive oil or tahini for smoother hummus.
• 3. Now taste test and adjust. I had to add more lemon juice (juice of 1 1/2 lemons in total) to help balance the sweetness of the beets.
• 4. Scrap the hummus into a serving bowl or onto a platter. Garnish with za'atar or sumac, cilantro or parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Peel beets, and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Combine olive oil, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add beets, and mix until well coated.
• Spread beets out in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan and roast, flipping half way through, until the beets are tender and starting to turn golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, put beets back into the bowl, and toss with lemon zest.

Steps:

• Wrap beets in foil and roast them at 425 degree F. for one hour or until soft.
• Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. You may need to add a little water if the mixture is too thick.
