Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium beet
  • 15 oz white beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 large garlic clove unpeeled
  • 1/2 Lemon juice (about 1/2 tbsp)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Peeler
  • Food Processor

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. This is essential for roasting the beet and garlic, allowing their flavors to caramelize beautifully.
  2. Wash the beet thoroughly and place it along with the garlic clove on a sheet of foil. Make sure the beet is clean to ensure the best flavor.
  3. Bring up the sides of the foil and fold it to create a packet. Leave enough room inside for heat to circulate around the beet and garlic.
  4. Bake the packet in the oven for 45 minutes or until the beet is tender when poked with a knife. You’ll know it’s ready when it’s soft to the touch.
  5. Once baked, remove the skin from both the garlic and the beet. A trick I find useful is to use a zip lock bag on my hand; it prevents my fingers from turning red from the beet juice!
  6. Now, place all the ingredients into a food processor. This includes the roasted beet, garlic, white beans, lemon juice, olive oil, and kosher salt.
  7. Puree everything together until you achieve a smooth consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides to ensure everything gets blended evenly.
  8. Once smooth, taste your hummus. Feel free to adjust the salt or lemon juice according to your preference.
  9. Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl and give it a light drizzle of olive oil on top for an added touch. You can sprinkle some additional herbs or seeds if you like!
  10. Serve the Red Beet and White Bean Hummus with fresh veggies, pita chips, or as a spread on sandwiches. Enjoy!
