01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Cut the golden beets into quarters and toss them with a little olive oil, then spread them out on the baking sheet. Roast the beets for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until you can easily poke a knife through them. Let them cool down a bit once they’re done.

Step 2
Next, toss the roasted beets into your food processor along with the beans, tahini, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, cumin, turmeric, salt, and garlic. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. If the hummus feels a bit too thick, add a splash of the reserved bean liquid to loosen it up. Finally, scoop it into a bowl and you’re ready to serve!
