Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash the beets, wrap them individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30 minutes, or until a sharp knife can easily be inserted into the center. Remove the beets from the oven and unwrap them to allow them to cool.
- Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel the skin and cut them into quarters.
- Add all of the ingredients to a food processor. Puree until the hummus has achieved a creamy consistency, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, ~1-2 minutes. If the mixture seems too thick, add up to 1⁄4 cup of water (a tablespoon at a time), until desired consistency is reached.
- Taste, and add more salt or lemon juice if desired.
- Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Serve with sliced raw vegetables or whole-grain gluten-free crackers.
