Beet Hummus is a creamy, vibrant pink dip made with roasted beets, chickpeas, tahini, and lemon juice. Naturally sweet, earthy, and packed with nutrients, this colorful twist on classic hummus is perfect for dipping veggies, spreading on toast, or adding flair to any snack platter.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium roasted beet, peeled and chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2–3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2–4 tbsp water, as needed for consistency

Instructions

  1. Roast or steam the beet until tender, then let it cool and peel.
  2. In a food processor, combine roasted beet, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt.
  3. Blend until smooth, gradually adding olive oil and water until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice as needed.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and serve with pita, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Roasting the beets enhances their sweetness and gives the hummus a deeper color.
  • For an extra-smooth texture, peel chickpeas before blending.
  • Try adding cumin or smoked paprika for added warmth and depth.
  • Beet Hummus can also be used as a spread for wraps or sandwiches.
