Roasted Beet Hummus Recipe
Description
The Roasted Beet Hummus Recipe combines the earthy sweetness of beets with the creamy, nutty base typical of hummus. Roasting the diced beets at a high temperature softens them and intensifies their natural sugars. After cooling, the beets blend smoothly with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt, producing a vibrant, velvety dip. Slow addition of cold water while blending achieves the right creamy consistency. The lemon juice and garlic provide brightness and depth, balancing the beet's sweetness.
This colorful hummus works well as a snack with pita or vegetable sticks, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps. Its rich texture and bright flavor also make it a visually striking appetizer or part of a mezze platter.
Ingredients
- 4 medium beet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided, 1 teaspoon
- ½ cup tahini
- ¼ cup lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- 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.
- 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.
