Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:

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:

- 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:

7. Serve:

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.
