Ingredients
  

For the Hummus
  • 2 cups Cooked or Roasted Beets Adds natural sweetness and vibrant color; roasting enhances flavor.
  • 1 can Chickpeas Provides protein and fiber; well-drained and rinsed is best.
  • 1/4 cup Tahini Adds richness and creaminess; can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a non-vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps create a silky texture; drizzle gradually while blending for emulsion.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Offers depth of flavor; adjust based on your preference or use roasted garlic for a mellow taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Balances sweetness with acidity; freshly squeezed is ideal for optimal brightness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor while balancing the beets’ sweetness; adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Optional (Cumin or Paprika) Adds warmth and depth; customize your beet hummus flavor with these spices.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Beet Hummus
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast them for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Allow the roasted beets to cool, then peel off the skin.
  2. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the chickpeas, roasted beets, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse the mixture a few times to break down the larger pieces.
  3. Turn on your blender or food processor and blend the mixture until it looks creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually drizzle in olive oil while blending.
  4. After achieving a smooth blend, check the consistency of your beet hummus. If it feels too thick, add a tablespoon of cold water or more lemon juice, then blend again. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  5. Transfer your beet hummus to a vibrant serving bowl. Swirl a drizzle of olive oil on top and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.
