Finish and cool the chickpeas
Remove the covered dish from the June Oven and carefully uncover. Season with salt and stir to combine. Allow the chickpeas to cool to room temperature.
1 teaspoon salt
Portion the chickpeas
Measure 2 cups of chickpeas for the hummus. Reserve the rest for another use. Chickpeas will keep refrigerated up to 5 days or frozen up to 6 months. Defrost chickpeas before using.
Preheat the June Oven
With the shelf in the bottom position, preheat the June Oven to 375℉ on the Roast cook mode using the button below.
Wrap and season the beet
With the flat part facing down, wrap the beet in foil but do not close the packet. Set the partially wrapped beet on the June Pan. Drizzle the oil and sprinkle the salt into the open packet.

Insert the June Food Thermometer
Carefully and slowly insert the June Food Thermometer vertically into the center of the beet. Use light, even pressure to avoid bending the probe. Seal the foil around the June Food Thermometer.

Roast the beet
Transfer the June Pan to the bottom shelf of the June Oven. Cook the beet until it reaches 208℉ internally, about 1 hour. June will notify you when the beet is ready.
Peel and cut the beet
Remove the June Pan from the June Oven and set it on a cooling rack. Allow the beet to cool at least 10 minutes before carefully unwrapping it, working slowly to avoid steam burns. When the beet is cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to rub off the skin. Trim any rough patches and discard, then dice the beet into 1” pieces.
