2 small beets or 1 medium beet cooked until tender
1 can of chickpeas 15 oz, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons of tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2 garlic cloves minced
1-2 teaspoons sesame oil
½ teaspoon salt
Sesame seeds optional

Instructions

To roast beets, wrap each beet in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil, place on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven at 400F (200C) for 45-60 minutes. Check for tenderness by piercing them with a fork. Peel with gloves or paper towels.
In a food processor, blend cooked beets, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, sesame oil, and salt until smooth. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water or olive oil if too thick.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
