- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp tahini

Instructions
Beet hummus
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C), remove the stem root from your beet. Wash thoroughly and wrap in foil. Roast for 1 hour or until tender.
- I like to sauté the garlic in olive oil because I think it tastes better that way. If you choose to cook your garlic, go ahead and do that now. If not, skip to next step.
- Add all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning, as necessary.
Pita chips
- Slice each loaf of pita into eight slices, like a pizza pie! Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with ranch seasoning.
- Cook in air fryer at 375 degrees for about 4 minutes. Important: toss the pita chips each minute to ensure they cook evenly and don't burn.
Mediterranean nachos
- Place pita chips on a large plate or serving tray.
- Add a big scoop of hummus in the center.
- Add all toppings.
- Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
- Top with edible flowers, if using.
