What Is Beet Hummus?

Beet hummus starts with the classic hummus recipe of chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon. Blend in roasted beets and it becomes intensely vibrant and irresistible to your eyes and your tastebuds. The spices add depth and flavor that make this hummus the perfect complement to any veggie platter, sandwich, or charcuterie board.

Homemade hummus is so easy to make with simple ingredients. It’s light and fluffy, but rich and creamy all in one bowl. Use it as a spread, dip, or enjoy it by the spoonful. And if you’re a hummus lover, you’ll have to try traditional hummus, avocado hummus, or this chocolate hummus next!

Ingredients For The Prettiest Dip

The ingredients needed to make beet hummus are easy to find! Canned beets can be used if you can’t find beets to roast yourself. Keep these ingredients on hand so that you always have a quick appetizer to whip up for dinner or a party!

• Roasted Beets: Beets that have been roasted ahead of time make this a 5-minute hummus recipe!
• Olive Oil: Perfect for making the hummus rich and creamy with an olive taste.
• Tahini: A jar of good quality tahini is the best. It’s a rich and creamy sesame paste that has a great nutty flavor.
• Chickpeas:  Canned chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans.
• Lemon: Freshly squeezed is BEST!
• Garlic Cloves: Garlic is a must! Whole peeled cloves will blend up nicely, but minced garlic works too.
• Ground Cumin: A perfect savory spice that is perfect for hummus.
• Ground Coriander: Coriander is a great complement to cumin and the flavors create great taste!
• Water: Balance the thickness and creaminess with water. Add more or less depending on your preferred consistency.
• Salt: Salt adds a savory taste.

Let’s Make Hummus

This beet hummus recipe comes together so fast in the food processor or blender. I love to use leftover roasted beets from the day before to make a batch of this hummus. Make it a quick snack, light lunch, or a fun dip to serve at your next party.

1. Add Roasted Beets To Food Processor: Allow the roasted beets to cool slightly then place them into a food processor or blender.
2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the garlic, lemon juice, tahini paste, olive oil, water, salt, cumin, and coriander.
3. Blend: Blend all of the ingredients together until desired consistency is reached. Add a little more olive oil or water to help reach a smoother texture if it seems too thick. Then give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
4. Garnish: Garnish with additional olive oil and chopped fresh parsley.
5. Enjoy: Serve with toasted pita bread, pita chips, crackers, or chopped vegetables.
