For the hummus

- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1–2 tsp harissa paste
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- 2–3 tbsp ice water
For serving

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the beets on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with a little olive oil, and wrap tightly into a packet. Set the packet on a baking sheet and roast until a knife slides through the center of the largest beet with no resistance, 40–50 minutes depending on size.

Remove the beets from the oven and let them rest, still wrapped, for 10 minutes. Unwrap and, once cool enough to handle, rub the skins off with a paper towel or the foil. Cut the beets into rough chunks.
