Egyptian Roasted Beetroot Dip - Real Recipes from Mums

I used to avoid making this Roasted Beetroot Dip as the beetroots stained my hands, but with Ansell gloves on…there is no issues! And trust me, it’s so much better than store bought dip, and easy to make.

Ingredients (makes 1 large dip)

2 medium Beetroots
2 Garlic cloves
1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
1 TBS Lemon juice
1 tbs Extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp Cumin
1/4 tsp Coriander powder
1/4 tsp Paprika
Salt & Pepper
Toasted Pine Nuts and Feta for garnish

Method

Preheat oven to 220 degrees celsius.
Cut off the beetroot stems 1 cm from the roots. Scrub the beetroots and wrap them individually in aluminium foil. Wrap the unpeeled garlic pods also in foil.
Bake the beetroots for 1 hour in the oven. Place the wrapped garlic pods also in the oven 40 minutes after placing the beets to bake.
Cool the beets. Pop on a pair of Ansell Handy Fresh Powder Free Gloves, and peel both the beets and the garlic. Chop the beets roughly.
Place the beets, garlic, yoghurt, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, coriander, and paprika in a food processor and process till smooth and creamy.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill till required. Serve with warm, crusty bread or crackers.

I usually buy beetroot dip, but I can imagine this one would taste fresher and be healthier.

Lovely dip and I love that you roast the beetroot rather than boiling it. I usually do mine in the microwave, so will see which way tastes best. Thanks for sharing.

We actually love to eat a beetroot dip. And what a great tip… the Ansell gloves for those messy jobs. We only use them for cutting up cooked chicken, but clearly they have many other uses.

I love beetroot dip but avoid it because of the added oil in store bought varieties.
