A vibrant and flavorful twist on traditional hummus, featuring the earthy sweetness of roasted or boiled beets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium beet, roasted or boiled and peeled (about 1 cup chopped)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2–3 tablespoons cold water, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. If using raw beets, roast or boil them until tender. Once cooked, peel and roughly chop the beet.
  2. In a food processor, combine the chopped beet, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons cold water, olive oil, and cumin.
  3. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add more cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) if desired. Serve with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes

  • For best flavor, ensure the beet is fully cooked until tender before processing.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can be used for garnish.
  • Serve with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables.
