Beet Hummus
Make your hummus even more fun to eat by adding beets! The bright colour and subtle sweetness will make this your most asked for lunch option!
Ingredients:
- 2 beets
- 1 cup of chickpeas (either boiled or from a can)
- 3 tbsp of tahini
- Juice of half a lemon
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of cumin
- A pinch of rosemary
Method:
Preheat the oven to 400C. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and bake them in the oven for 45-50 minutes, depending on the size of the beets. Once they have had a chance to cool down a bit, peel off the skin, chop them into smaller pieces and blitz in the food processor along with the other ingredients. Once you have attained a creamy texture, taste it, season accordingly, and then store in a jar or airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
