I love this smokey beetroot dip. It’s as easy to make as hummus ( just takes a little longer to roast the beetroots) and it’s great to keep in the fridge to have with carrot sticks or crackers in the afternoon when the 3 o’clock munchies hit.
The smoked paprika really gives a beautiful smoky, rich flavor and the lemon juice cuts through the richness of the roasted beetroots.
You can store it in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 6 days.
