Lush & Creamy Roasted Beet Hummus

Creamy, flavorful, and so nutritious, this roasted beet hummus is the perfect dip to share with your friends and loved ones this Valentine’s Day.  

I may be sharing a roasted beet hummus recipe with you today, but I actually don’t like beets. Odd, I know! But they give such a gorgeous color to this hummus I just couldn’t resist. I added just enough beet to make it beautiful, but not too much that the hummus ends up tasty too earthy. Balance, friends!

I like beets in juice, and in dips like this hummus, but I think they’re too earthy for me to be eaten on their own! They’re packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, so I do like to sneak them into my diet one way or another.  

Did you know beets are a total liver loving food?

They contain a compound called betaine that helps support liver detoxification. They activate phase 2 liver enzymes to help the body product bile which breaks down fat and supports the removal of toxins from the body. Additionally, root vegetables of all kinds (including beets, carrots, and sweet potatoes) are also amazing for the female reproductive system. They contain key nutrients such as folate that are needed for hormone production and also help nourish and support female reproductive organs and promote fertility (Not that I’m trying to get pregnant any time soon, LOL).

Lastly, I use this silicone baking mat to roast all my veggies. It prevents everything from sticking, and is much more environmentally friendly than using parchment paper, too! It also allows you to roast veggies without additional oil, but if you check out this post, you’ll learn that I no longer avoid oil like the plague the way I used to.

Anyway, my Valentine’s Day plans include making this hummus, perhaps a delicious pasta like this one, and curling up to one of my favorite romantic comedies. Sounds pretty darn nice to me!

This Roasted Beet Hummus is..

• Creamy

Notes

To make this recipe oil free, sub the olive oil for water or veggie broth, though it will be less creamy this way.
