Ingredients
  

  • 3 beets about 3 inches in diameter
  • 1 can chickpeas drained
  • 1 cup raw cashew pieces soaked in water for a few hours if your food processor isn't amazing, drain before using
  • 2 tablespoons tehina
  • 7 tablespoons lemon juice from about 2 1/2 lemons
  • 2-2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Optional garnishes: black and white sesame seeds chickpeas, parsley, lemon wedge

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Peel and dice beets into 3/4-inch cubes (does not need to be exact).
  3. Arrange on parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and bake for about 30-40 minutes until pretty easy to stab with a fork but ideally not blackening at the edges (a little is okay).
  4. Put all ingredients EXCEPT for garnishes into the food processor and blend for about 5 minutes until very creamy and not at all grainy.
  5. Top with optional garnishes and enjoy!
