Method

Preheat the oven to 210˚C, gas mark 7. Put the beetroot and (peeled) garlic in a roasting tin, toss together with 2 tbsp oil and season. Cover with foil and roast for 50 minutes- 1 hour, until the beetroot is completely tender. Remove and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
Put the beetroot, garlic, 3 tbsp oil and remaining ingredients (apart from the flatbreads and crudités) in a food processor, reserving some mint to serve. Whizz until completely smooth, then season. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle over a little olive oil and scatter with the remaining mint leaves. Serve with warm flatbreads and crudités.
