A vibrant and flavorful spread made with roasted beets and walnuts, perfect for dipping or spreading.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the beets.
Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes or until tender.
Roasting enhances the natural sweetness of the beets.
Allow the beets to cool slightly, then peel off the skins and cut them into chunks.
Use a paper towel to rub off the skins easily.
In a food processor, combine the roasted beets, toasted walnuts, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure an even blend.
Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and blend again to incorporate.
The lemon juice brightens the flavor of the spread.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts.
Serve with pita crisps or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
