Print Recipe

A quick and easy dip combining roasted beets with creamy Greek yogurt, lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs for a fresh, tangy, and earthy flavor. Perfect for snacks, parties, or as a healthy spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh beets, washed and trimmed
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 to 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin or smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash beets thoroughly and trim off leafy tops and roots.
  2. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil or place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and roast for 45-60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Allow roasted beets to cool enough to handle, then peel off skins by rubbing with fingers or a paper towel.
  4. Chop peeled beets roughly and add to a food processor or blender along with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pulse or blend until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture. Blend longer for a creamier dip, but avoid liquefying the yogurt.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed. Add smoked paprika or cumin if desired.
  7. Transfer dip to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle fresh herbs on top for presentation.

Notes

Roast beets wrapped in foil to trap steam and ensure tenderness. Peel skins easily after roasting. Pulse yogurt and beets gently to maintain creaminess without watery texture. Adjust seasoning carefully, especially garlic. Can substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or cashew yogurt for vegan option. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 4 days; stir before serving.
