Vegan Mediterranean Beetroot Dip Recipes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 beetroots
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup cooked great northern beans (or any white bean)
• 1 tsp cumin seeds or ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 Tbsp oil
• water, to thin to desired texture

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Peel and chop beetroots. The smaller you cut them, the faster they cook and more they caramelize. Chop garlic cloves into thirds. Drizzle oil on baking sheet and put the beetroots and garlic pieces on.

 
2. Sprinkle with cumin and cinnamon.
