    In a food processor, combine the beetroot, chickpeas, tahini, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 clove of minced garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare Carrot Hummus

    In the same food processor, add the chopped carrots, remaining garlic clove, tahini, and 1/2 cup of water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add salt and adjust consistency with more water if needed.

  3. 3

    Prepare Baba Ghanoush

    Serve

    Transfer the spreads to serving bowls. Drizzle with olive oil if desired. Serve with flatbread and wheat pita for dipping.
