My go to winter snack.

Beets are in season during the winter months in many regions. They are a hardy vegetable that can withstand cold temperatures, making them an ideal crop for winter harvest. This is why you often find beets available fresh during the winter, and they are a great choice for seasonal eating. Their earthy flavor and nutritional benefits make them a popular ingredient for winter dishes, including soups, roasts, and, as you mentioned, in flavorful preparations like beet hummus.

Here’s the recipe!

🍽️ Simply blend:

1 roasted beet, peeled and quartered
1 can organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup tahini
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt to taste

until smooth.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky salt, your favorite seasonings, or herbs for an extra flavor kick. A perfect, heartwarming treat to brighten up chilly days! ❄️🌱
