While the beetroot is roasting in the oven, assemble the rest of the ingredients for your beetroot hummus.

- Olive Oil
- Tahini Paste (recipe below)
- Salt+Pepper

How to make homemade tahini?
simply mix 1/4 cup of toasted sesame seeds (dry roast the sesame seeds for a few minutes in a pan) with 1/4 cup of water and you have a creamy tahini paste ready to be used for the beetroot hummus.
Then simply blend all your ingredients and enjoy with some lavash or toasted bread of crackers.
