Quick Beetroot Hummus

Quick Beetroot Hummus

This super simple beet hummus recipe is the perfect appetizer. It's super smooth, creamy, and full of fresh beet flavor. Serve with pita, crackers, or fresh veggies!

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas

    drained and rinsed), (430 g/15 oz

  • 2 medium cooked beetroots

    cut into quarters), (read above post on how to cook them

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • zest and juice from 1 medium lemon
  • 2-3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the beetroots, chickpeas and garlic into a food processor and process for 1 minute until ground. Add all the remaining ingredients and process until creamy. It should have some grainy texture, that's ok. If it's dry or you want to thin it out and make it more creamy, add more tahini or water, until you like the consistency.

  2. 2

    Adjust seasonings, adding more salt, cumin, olive oil, or lemon juice if needed.

  3. 3

    Scrape into a serving bowl to use immediately. I like to serve it at room temperature. Refrigerate in an airtight container if you aren't serving right away.

  4. 4

    Beetroot hummus will keep in the fridge, covered well, for 4-5 days.
