Roasted Yellow Beet Hummus
2-3 medium yellow beets
2 small to medium carrots
3-6 garlic cloves (depending on your level of garlic love)
2 cups dry garbanzos
1/2 cup + 2 TBSP olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp tamari
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
Soak and cook garbanzos until they are soft. (You can also use pre-cooked, canned garbanzos for this as well.) Meanwhile, cut carrots and beets into large chunks and toss with 2 TBSP olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt in a large baking tray. Bake at 350 until they are cooked through or lightly browned. Pour the contents of the roasted veggie pan (beets, carrots, and oil) into a food processor with all the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth, adding more water, olive oil, or lemon juice as needed to desired consistency. Add salt as needed.
