Creamy Roasted Beet Hummus

by: claire cary

Creamy, flavorful, and so nutritious, this roasted beet hummus recipe is the perfect dip for some veggies, pita, crackers, or whatever! It's gluten free, vegan, and a perfect (and pretty) way to sneak some veggies into your diet!

Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
Total: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 small beet
  • 2 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 6 large cloves garlic
  • ½ cup tahini I like Soom Foods
  • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup ice cold water
  • 1 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  • Wash and dry the beet and wrap in aluminum foil. 
  • Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes - 1 hour or until easily pierced with a fork. 
  • During the final few minutes of baking, mince the garlic and add to a pan with a splash of olive oil. 
  • Saute until golden brown. 
  • Remove the beet from the oven and let cool.
  • Once it is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin (it should come off easily) and chop into chunks. 
  • Add to your food processor and pulse until you have very small pieces. 
  • Add in all remaining ingredients including the sautéed garlic and process until completely smooth. I like to let the food processor run for a good 2 or so minutes to ensure it's really creamy.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as desired or add more water for a thinner consistency. I sometimes add in one raw clove of garlic for a stronger garlic flavor. The food processor will heat the hummus a bit, so I suggest adding it to the fridge before serving!

Notes

Once prepared, this hummus will last in the fridge for 5-7 days. 
If you have the patience, remove the skins from the chickpeas to make the hummus incredibly creamy. 
For a stronger beet flavor, use 1 large beet or 2 smaller beets. I don't love a strong beet flavor, so I just use one small beet.
