- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 1 hour
- Total Time: 1 hour 15 mins
- Yield: about 2 cups 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beets, greens removed and scrubbed well
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
To garnish
- 2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped toasted walnuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the beets in a small baking dish. Add 1/4 cup water and cover tightly with foil. Roast until a metal skewer inserted into the largest beet meets absolutely no resistance, 1 to 11/2 hours, depending on the size of the beets. Uncover and let cool to room temperature.
- Slip the skins off the beets, you should be able to use your hands for this and a pairing knife will work in stubborn areas. Cut the beets into rough 1-inch chunks and put them in a food processor. Add the yogurt, garlic, olive oil, maple syrup, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
- Process until the mixture is as smooth as it can be, about 1 minute, scraping down the bowl two or three times. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Transfer the dip to a wide, shallow bowl for serving. Cover and let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Use the back of a spoon to swirl the surface of the dip. Sprinkle with the goat cheese, scallions,
walnuts and parsley to serve.
Notes
The dip may separate slightly upon standing; stirring will bring it back together.
Can be refrigerated without garnish for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature, stir to recombine, and garnish before serving
