Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Beets:
- Wash and peel the beets. Cut them into small chunks.
- Toss the beet chunks with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Roast the Beets:

- Remove from the oven and let them cool.
4. Prepare the Zucchini and Carrots:
- Wash the zucchini and cut it into chunks.
- Wash, peel, and trim the ends of the carrots. Cut the carrots into sticks or chunks as desired.
- Set aside for serving.
5. Blend the Hummus:
- In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted beets, sesame butter, lemon juice, a dash of salt, and the remaining olive oil.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water or more olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
6. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as necessary. You might want to add more salt or lemon juice to taste.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the beetroot hummus to a serving bowl.
- Arrange the zucchini chunks and carrot sticks around the bowl for dipping.
- Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top of the hummus for extra flavor and a nice presentation.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve the roasted beetroot hummus with the fresh zucchini and carrot sticks. Great as a healthy snack or appetizer!

Tips:

- When roasting the beets, wrap them in aluminum foil to retain moisture and enhance their natural sweetness.

- Allow the beets to cool before blending to avoid melting the other ingredients and to achieve a smoother texture.

- Adjust the lemon juice and salt according to your taste preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more if necessary.

- For a creamier consistency, consider adding a tablespoon of water or olive oil while blending the hummus.

- Garnish the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds or fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.

- Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
