Roasting is my favorite way of cooking beets. In my opinion, this simple and effortless method brings out the best flavors in beets.

Speaking of flavor, we’ll be mixing bunch of aromatic spices together for this dip. Think: cumin, coriander, chili powder! Can you smell these?? Ahhh, so good!

Together with cilantro and dill, this dip is overloaded with flavors. A touch of lemon juice is added for brightness, and a drizzle of olive oil for smoothness. I also added some walnuts for a little bit of texture. Splendid!!

Serve this dip with some tortilla chips, or smeared on a slice of baguette. Or just grab a spoon, if that’s how you roll.

  1. This looks amazing – I love beets and the wonderful colour they bring to a dish. I’ve tried making many things with beets, including ice cream, but never a dip. Can’t wait to try.
