This light and creamy (and definitely garlicky) beet dip is from Ochre Bakery in Detroit, No. 4 on our 2019 Hot Ten list. Every supporting ingredient in this recipe exists to make beets taste like their best selves: The maple syrup accentuates their sweetness, the hazelnuts play up their earthiness (but it’s not too earthy, we promise), and the lemon juice brightens up the whole thing.
