5 Minutes Super Creamy Roasted Beet Hummus
This roasted beet hummus combines cooked beets and chickpeas into a creamy, vibrant spread with a subtle earthiness and mild spice from cumin and coriander. The addition of tahini, lemon juice, and garlic balances the flavors and creates a smooth texture, enhanced by olive oil. Garnished with seeds and oil, it makes a colorful dip or sandwich spread with a pleasant blend of savory and nutty notes.

Ingredients
- 2 beetroot (cooked beets - either roasted or pressure cooked)
- 2 cups chickpeas
- 6 cloves garlic
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- salt to taste
- 3 tablespoon tahini
- 1 lemon juice
- ¾ cup olive oil
- water as required
Garnish –
- olive oil
- black sesame seed
- white sesame seed
- pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Cooking chickpeas - No need to soak chickpeas. You can directly pressure cook. Once cooked, drain excess water, and keep aside. If you want to save time, instead of cooking chickpeas from scratch, feel free to use canned chickpeas.
- Roasting beetroots - Rinse beetroots, and peel the skin off. Chop them roughly, drizzle olive oil(about one or two teaspoons), and sprinkle generous salt. Roast in preheated oven at 400F for about 40-50 minutes(time will vary on the size of the beets). Make sure to turn the beetroot once or twice during roasting.
- Blend - To a food processor or blender add all the ingredients and blend until you get a fine, smooth paste.
- Serve - Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with olive oil, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds. If you prefer fresh herbs, use dill, basil leaves for garnish. Serve beet hummus with nachos, and pita bread, spread it over a sandwich, and use it as a dip for veggies. It's simply delicious!
