Step 1

Prep the (beets). Preheat the oven to 425°F/218°C. Trim off any beet greens and most of their attached stalks (leave some of the stalk intact to prevent beets from “bleeding” in the oven). If the beets have any skinny tails, don’t trim them, as it results in less juicy beets. Wash and scrub the beets.

Step 2

Roast the beet(s). Rub beets with a bit of olive oil so they have a thin coating. Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish or ovenproof pan for which you have a tight-fitting lid. Add ½ cup (120 mL) water, and cover tightly with foil or the lid. Roast for 45 to 60 minutes, or until fork-tender (medium-sized beets usually take 60 minutes; small beets 45 minutes). While still warm but not hot, run the beets under cool water and peel off the skins (they're easier to peel when warm). Wear food-safe gloves to avoid temporarily staining your hands. Cut the stems off and discard. Roughly chop the beets.

Step 3

Simmer the chickpeas. Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to a saucepan, cover with an inch or two of water, and add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a rapid simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chickpeas start falling apart.

Step 4

Drain and rinse cooked chickpeas. Remove any loose skins, but no need to peel the rest. Transfer chickpeas to a food processor or small-capacity high-powered blender (Note 6). Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until you have a smooth puree, scraping down the sides as you go.

Step 5

Blend the hummus. Add the cooked beet, tahini, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, all of the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, ½ heaping teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste. Add the olive oil for a richer mouthfeel. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides with a silicone spatula as you go. Check the consistency. To make it a bit looser, add 1 tablespoon of ice water and blend again. If you prefer a thicker texture, omit.

Step 6

Once you reach your desired texture, taste for seasonings, adding more salt, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, or cumin/coriander as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the hummus to a large plate and use the back of a spoon to make waves or to make a well in the center. Drizzle with olive oil in the well and garnish with Za’atar if using, cilantro or parsley, and a pinch of flaky salt.
