Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium roasted beet, peeled and chopped Roast at 200°C (390°F) until fork-tender.
  • 1.5 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • to taste dash salt
  • 2-3 tbsp cold water Adjust for texture.

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil For drizzling.
  • 1/2 tsp za’atar or sumac
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • as needed Warm pita or crackers for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wrap the beet in foil and roast it at 200°C (390°F) for 40–50 minutes until fork-tender. Once done, cool, peel, and chop it.
Blending
  1. In a food processor, combine the roasted beet, chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach a silky texture. Season with salt to taste.
Serving
  1. Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create soft swirls on the surface.
  2. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil in the center of the hummus. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese, za’atar, and chopped parsley over the top.
  3. Serve immediately or chill. Can be made a day in advance; just garnish before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, roast the beet with a little olive oil and salt before wrapping it in foil. If you like your hummus a bit zestier, add more lemon juice or garlic. Garnish just before serving to keep toppings fresh.
