This vibrant Roasted Beet Hummus is a colorful twist on traditional hummus, perfect for keto-friendly snacking or as a flavorful dip for parties. The earthy sweetness of roasted beets pairs wonderfully with the nutty tahini and zesty lemon juice, creating a creamy and satisfying dip that's packed with nutrients.

Ingredients: 2 medium beets, roasted and peeled. 1 can 15 ounces chickpeas, drained and rinsed. 3 tablespoons tahini. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. Salt and black pepper to taste. Water as needed for consistency.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400F 200C. Wrap the beets individually in foil and roast them for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Let them cool, then peel and chop them into chunks. In a food processor, combine the roasted beets, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add water gradually until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer the hummus to a serving dish, drizzle with a little olive oil, and garnish with optional toppings like chopped fresh herbs or sesame seeds. Serve with keto-friendly vegetables like cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery sticks.
