Recipe Summary Beet Hummus
A twist on traditional hummus, this version is tangy, earthy, and a refreshing change of pace. Using a high-quality balsamic will result in a tarter, more intense flavor.Ingredients | Cookie Dough Hummus Calories3 beets1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed¼ cup olive oil¼ cup lemon juice3 tablespoons tahini2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar3 large cloves garlic1 tablespoon spearmint, chopped2 teaspoons ground cuminkosher salt and ground black pepper to tasteDirectionsPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).Wrap beets in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.Roast beets in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Unwrap carefully; let cool until easily handled, 5 to 10 minutes. Peel and chop into large chunks.Combine beets, garbanzo beans, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, balsamic vinegar, garlic, spearmint, cumin, salt, and pepper in a food processor; blend until smooth.Adjust seasonings to individual taste: Lemon makes it tarter, balsamic tames the sweetness of the beets, tahini makes it nuttier and creamier, salt brightens the flavors, and more olive oil will make the hummus smoother. Add extra spearmint a little at a time; it can overwhelm quickly.Info | Cookie Dough Hummus Caloriesprep:
