Instructions
- Roughly chop your roasted and cooled beetroot, then place the pieces into your food processor. Blend until only small bits are visible.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. It’s possible that you need to add some more water towards the end so your roasted beetroot dip becomes really smooth and homogenous.
- Once the desired texture is achieved, taste and adjust the seasonings as needed by adding more salt, lemon or spices.
- Transfer your homemade vegan dip into a bowl and garnish with toppings of your choice! Our favorites include pine nuts, lemon zest, thyme sprigs, black pepper and chopped parsley.
- Serve with fresh bread or chopped veggies and store any leftover beetroot dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
