Author Notes: A change up to your traditional hummus, this one is made with golden beets and spiced up with some smoked paprika. —Vicky | Things I Made Today

Serves: 4-6

1/2 pound golden beets, quartered
2-4 tablespoons olive oil
1 15 ounces can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons tahini
3 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
juice from 1 lemon
dill for garnish

Preheat oven to 400.
Place beets on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until beets are tender. Let cool completely.
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, chili flakes, lemon juice, and beets. Puree until smooth. Add in 1 tablespoon of olive oil at a time until right consistency is reached. If hummus is still too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out.
Transfer to bowl and top with dill.
