To make beetroot hummus, put the chickpeas, beetroot, garlic, lemon, cumin, salt and tahini in a food processer. Whiz for 30 seconds and then slowly drizzle in your olive oil. Once all the oil is in and combined, if it looks a bit thick in consistency then drizzle in a couple of tablespoons of cold water and combine.

Top and tail the beetroot (trim the ends so they will sit flat on the board) then cut the beetroot in half. Pat dry again.

Place onto a lined baking tray and cook at 180°C for approx. 15 minutes or until the Parmesan is golden.
