Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (about 400°F), ensuring it reaches the right temperature to roast the beetroots effectively.
-
-
Prepare the Beetroots: Take the fresh beetroots and scrub them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Once clean, dry them well with a kitchen towel, then wrap each beetroot individually in aluminum foil to retain moisture during roasting.
-
Roasting: Place the wrapped beetroots directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Roast for approximately 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The exact roasting time may vary depending on the size of the beetroots.
-
Peeling: After roasting, carefully remove the beetroots from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skin, which should slip off easily due to the roasting process.
-
Blending: Cut the peeled beetroots into smaller pieces and transfer them to a food processor. Add the ground cumin and sugar, then process the mixture until it is finely blended and smooth.
-
Adding Olive Oil: With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. Continue blending until the mixture reaches a thick and creamy puree. Adjust the seasoning to taste if desired.
-
Serving: Transfer your delicious Beetroot and Cumin Dip to a serving bowl. This dip is perfect for spreading on bread, pairing with vegetable sticks, or as a flavorful addition to any brunch spread.
-
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors may deepen as it sits.
