Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium Beets scrubbed (about 3 or 12 oz total)
  • 5 cloves Garlic unpeeled
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 15 ounce can Chickpeas 15.5 oz, drained
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Place beets and garlic cloves on a 12 inch square piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil. Fold foil around the beets and garlic to create an enclosed pouch.
  • Place pouch on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes or until beets and garlic are tender and fragrant. Allow beets to cool about 15 minutes.
  • Remove skin from beets and garlic cloves and place peeled beets and garlic in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Add chickpeas, lemon juice and lemon zest and process mixture until it's evenly textured.
  • With food processor running, drizzle in olive oil and process until almost smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper and process until incorporated.

Notes

  • Use a paper towel to rub skin off of beets and to prevent staining your hands.
  • Serve hummus with a variety of veggies and pita crisps.
