Ingredients | Chocolate Beetroot Cake

2 large beets

1 head garlic, halved crosswise

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 ½ lemons, juiced

2 tablespoons tahini

½ teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (Optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Poke beets all over with a fork; transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, leaving some room for air to escape. Cook beets in the microwave for 4 minutes. Wrap each beet with aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.

Season garlic halves with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Wrap each half with aluminum foil and place on the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until beets are tender when pierced with a fork, about 35 minutes.

Cool beets until running water for 1 minute. Peel off skins and transfer to a food processor.

Squeeze garlic cloves into the food processor. Drizzle in any olive oil remaining on the aluminum foil. Add chickpeas, 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pulse until combined. Add Greek yogurt; process until smooth.
