Notes

  • Roast extra beets when using them for other purposes (like this Roasted Beet and Apple Salad so you'll have them on hand for this hummus recipe.
  • To Roast beets in the oven, put them, wrapped in foil, in a 400° oven for 45 minutes, or until fork-tender. Allow to cool enough to handle, then rub skins off with a paper towel.
  • You can also use your air fryer to roast the beets. (See Air Fryer Beets)
  • Roasted beets should be completely cooled before using them in this recipe.
  • As an alternative to roasting fresh beets, you can buy beets already cooked, or canned, for this recipe.
  • You can use golden beets instead of red beets. You'll still have the same creamy hummus and beet flavor, minus the color.
  • Your homemade beet hummus tastes best if it's chilled for an hour or so before using it.
  • If you don't have either a food processor or a high speed blender, you can mash everything together with a potato masher, or use a mortar and pestle. Your hummus won't be as smooth and creamy, but a chunkier version will still be delicious!
  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
