1 can (19 oz) Progresso™ chick peas, drained, rinsed
1/4 cup tahini
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps

1

Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; spray with cooking spray.

In small bowl, toss beets with 2 teaspoons of the oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt; place in single layer in pan. Remove any loose pieces of peel from bulb of garlic.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until beets are tender and garlic is soft. Allow beets and garlic to cool 20 minutes at room temperature.
