Beet Hummus

Beet Hummus

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups chopped fresh beets 
  • ¼ cup Chipotle Infused Olive Oil, divided 
  • 2 tbsp Cherry Dark Balsamic 
  • 1 tbsp chopped rosemary leaves 
  • 2 tsp sea salt, divided 
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper 
  • 1 14oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 
  • ¼ cup lemon juice 
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt 
Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with a large sheet of foil. Place beets in the centre of a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle on half the olive oil, balsamic, rosemary and half the sea salt, then tightly seal beets in foil, doubling up the foil to ensure they are completely wrapped. Roast for 30 -40 minutes or until beets are fork tender. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, reserving any juices from cooking. 

Add cooled beets, juices and the remaining ingredients to a food processor or blender. Pulse to combine and then blend on high until thick and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, 1 tbsp water and a time and blend to loosen and create the desired consistency. 

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week
