Prep & Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes (10 minutes only if beets are pre-roasted) 

Ingredients (GF & Vegan): 

  • 1 small roasted beet
  • 1 15 oz. can of cooked chickpeas (around 1 3/4 cup)
  • 1 large lemon (for zest)
  • 1/2 large lemon (for juice) 
  • 1 pinch of salt & pepper
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic 
  • 2 Tbsp of tahini 
  • 1/4 cup Potli EVOO (extra splash for roasting process)
  • 2 Tbsp of Potli x Halal Hemp Certified Chilli Oil (to drizzle on top) 

Instructions: 

  • Roast Beets: 
    • Preheat oven to 375° F
    • Remove the stem and majority of root from your beets, and give them a little scrub underwater to clean
    • Wrap beets in aluminum foil, drizzle on some Potli EVOO, wrap the beets tightly, and roast for 1 hour (a knife should be able to slice through the beet easily without resistance)
    • Set roasted beet in the fridge (in a bowl to catch left over juice) to cool down to room temperature
  • Once the beets have cooled, quarter them and food process them. Puree them in a small blender (add orange juice or water to assist with the blending if need be) till only small bits are remaining
  • Add remaining ingredients, except for the EVOO, and blend until puree is smooth 
  • Drizzle in EVOO as the hummus mixes in blender
  • Plate and drizzle on top some Potli x Halal Hemp Certified Chilli Oil
  • Voila! Ready to serve!
