Equipment

  • Cuisinart DLC-8SY Pro Custom 11-Cup Food Processor, White

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces golden beets washed
  • 2 cloves garlic skin left on
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • kosher salt to taste
  • za'atar for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).
  • Trim the leafy ends off of 8 to 10 ounces of golden beets. Wash well and pat dry before placing them on a sheet of foil. On a separate sheet of foil, place the cloves of unpeeled garlic. Drizzle both with a little olive oil and a small pinch of salt. Fold up and crimp the foil for each parcel and place on a rimmed baking sheet. The beets should roast 40-50 minutes or until fork tender. And the garlic only needs 25 minutes.
  • Once roasted, allow both beets and garlic to cool before peeling. I have a kitchen towel dedicated to rubbing the beets skin off, but you can use paper towels instead. Wearing nitrile gloves is also handy. Once peeled, cut into quarters.
  • In the bowl of your food processor, add the peeled and quartered beets and roasted garlic, the lemon juice and tahini with a pinch of kosher salt.
  • Secure the lid, puree until smooth. Stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as you go.
  • Spoon the golden beet hummus into a serving bowl and use a spoon to make swoops. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with za’atar. Serve with warm pita, toasted naan and/or veggies.
