Roasted Beet Hummus Recipe

Roasted Beet Hummus is a nutrient-dense hummus recipe made with roasted beets, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a little cumin. It's a super creamy, chickpea-free dip that is as delicious as it is pretty.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium beets

  • 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon olive oil (divided)

  • ½ cup tahini

  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 clove garlic (minced)

    Instructions 

    • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Peel and chop the beets then toss them with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and put them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 35 minutes, or until they are soft.

    • Let the cooked beets cool for a few minutes then put them into your food processor along with all the remaining ingredients. Blend on high for 2 minutes.

      ½ cup tahini, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, 1 clove garlic

    • With the blender running, slowly add cold water to the hummus. You will need to add about ¼ cup of water. When it is creamy and the consistency of hummus, stop adding water. Season to taste with more salt, if needed.
