Instructions
 

  • Drain garbanzo beans well.
  • Wash beets well, scrubbing gently with a produce brush. Pat dry well. Do not peel. Rub each beet with ⅛ tsp soybean oil.
  • Preheat oven to 400 ºF. Cover a full sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Distribute oiled beets evenly on pan. Roast for 25-35 minutes or until al dente. The beets are ready when able to be punctured with a paring knife and the skin is blistered.
  • Use the back of a paring knife to scrape the skin away.
  • Cut beets into 2-inch chunks.
  • Process the hummus in multiple batches in a food processor, combining ingredients in these quantities: 1 qt 2 ¼ cup garbanzo beans, 1 qt 2 cups roasted beets, ⅓ cup lemon juice, 2 Tbsp soybean oil, 1 ½ tsp garlic powder, 1 ½ tsp onion powder, and ½ tsp cumin.
  • Begin at low speed, gradually increasing to high or the puree setting. Continue processing until hummus reaches a smooth, creamy texture, pausing occasionally to scrape the sides with a spatula. Allow to process for 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve ½ cup (No. 8 scoop) with carrots, celery, or whole grain tortilla chips. Store in the refrigerator.
    Critical Control Point: Hold hot for service at 135 ºF or higher.
