Ingredients
  

1 large beet (about 8 ounces), roasted and peeled

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1-2 garlic cloves, minced (adjust according to taste)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons water (more if needed)

Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill) for garnish

Pomegranate seeds (optional, for a pop of color)

Instructions
 

Prep the Beet: Begin by roasting the beet. Wrap it in aluminum foil and roast it in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45-60 minutes, or until it’s tender when pierced with a fork. Once cooled, peel the skin off and cut into chunks.

    Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the roasted beet, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and ground cumin.

      Add Seasoning: Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Add Water: Blend the ingredients for about 1-2 minutes until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.

            Serve: Transfer the pink hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs, and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds if using.

              Enjoy: Serve with pita chips, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or your favorite veggies for dipping.
