6 servings
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
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits beans and legumes like chickpeas because dried, stored beans can carry mold and mycotoxins, but the modest, well-rinsed and cooked serving here (about 1/2 cup or less per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid chickpeas, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

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.
