This is a really tasty hummus with a delightful rich colour. Hummus is a great way of adding protein, fibre and calcium to your day. Use it in sandwiches, wraps or as a dip.
Servings: 5 - Time: 25 min - Difficulty: easy
Ingredients:
3 large beetroot (850g, stalks and tip cut off)
530g cooked chickpeas (2 cans chickpeas, drained)
1 large garlic clove (7g)
1/3 cup lemon juice (80g)
1 & 1/2 tsp ground cumin (3g)
1 tsp smoked paprika powder (2g)
2 Tbsp olive oil (25g)
3/4 tsp sea salt (2-3g) or to taste
1/2 cup tahini (100g)
Method:

- Peel and mince the garlic.
