Roasted Beet Hummus With Baked Falafel

In honor of International Hummus Day, I wanted to share an easy recipe for roasted beet hummus with baked falafel. There was a time when beets were to be one of my least favorite vegetables. I started including them in my diet to increase my fiber consumption a few years ago and have come to really enjoy them.

This is a quick and easy recipe you can prepare for lunch or dinner. It has been my go-to recipe for all the days I want a light meal that does not make me feel uncomfortably stuffed. It’s also a great vegan option.

2. Chop your beets into small cubes, set on a baking sheet, and bake on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. I like to do this simultaneously with my falafel so I don’t have to wait for another 30 minutes.

3. In a blender or food processor add your roasted beets, garlic clove, tahini, lemon, salt, olive oil, and cumin. Add a portion of your cup of water to begin and add more as you go until a creamy texture is achieved.
