For the hummus
- 2 medium beets (about 12 oz total), scrubbed
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- 2–4 tbsp ice water
For the crudités
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
- 2 stalks celery, cut into sticks
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced into rounds or spears

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the beets on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, and wrap tightly into a packet. Set the packet on the baking sheet and roast until the beets are completely tender when pierced through the center with a knife, 45–55 minutes depending on size.

Remove the beets from the oven and let them rest, still wrapped, for 10 minutes. Unwrap carefully — steam will escape — then rub the skins off with a paper towel or the foil. Roughly chop the beets and set aside to cool slightly.
