3 fresh medium beets (about 1 pound)
1 whole garlic bulb
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper, divided
1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 to 4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, optional

Sliced or torn pita bread

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0. Pierce beets with a fork; place in a microwave-safe bowl and cover loosely. Microwave beets on high for 4 minutes, stirring halfway. Cool slightly. Wrap beets in individual foil packets.
2
Remove papery outer skin from garlic bulb, but do not peel or separate cloves. Cut in half crosswise. Sprinkle halves with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap in individual foil packets. Roast beets and garlic until cloves are soft, about 45 minutes.
3
Remove from oven; unwrap. Rinse beets with cold water; peel when cool enough to handle. Squeeze garlic from skins. Place beets and garlic in a food processor. Add garbanzo beans, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, cayenne pepper and remaining olive oil, salt and ground pepper. Process until smooth.
4
If desired, pulse 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt with beet mixture, dolloping remaining yogurt over finished hummus. Sprinkle with dill or parsley. Serve with assorted vegetables and pita bread.
