If you feel like mixing things up, swap in plain Greek yogurt or even a soft goat cheese for the ricotta. This is one of five ways to riff on classic hummus (see more recipes here).

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°. Wrap beet tightly in foil and place on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the tines of a fork slide easily into the center of beet, 60–70 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
Step 2
Meanwhile, process chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, ricotta, garlic, salt, pepper, and coriander in a food processor until smooth.
Step 3
Using a paper towel, rub beet to remove skin (it should slip off easily and any staining to your hands will be temporary). Trim root end and cut beet into 8 pieces; add to food processor. Process until mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
Step 4
Transfer hummus to a shallow bowl. Top with mint and poppy seeds and drizzle with oil.
Step 5
Do Ahead: Hummus can be made 4 days ahead; transfer to an airtight container and chill.
