Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a low boil. Add beet and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove beet and allow to cool, or place in a bowl of cold water. Peel beet, cut into small pieces, and transfer to the bowl of a food processor.
  2. 2 Add tahini to beet pieces and blend until smooth. Add lemon juice, garlic, and some of the chickpeas; pulse until combined. Continue adding chickpeas in small amounts, blending after each addition. Stream olive oil in slowly, with the processor running, until hummus is smooth but still thick and spreadable. Add a bit of water if needed.

  1. 1 Place a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  2. 2 Combine 1 teaspoon cumin, paprika, chili powder, and coriander together in a small bowl.
