Tahini Free Beet Hummus
Description
The Tahini Free Beet Hummus recipe uses roasted diced beets and garlic combined with chickpeas, olive oil, and lemon juice to deliver a creamy and visually striking dip. Roasting the beets intensifies their natural sweetness and softens their texture, which blends smoothly in the food processor with the other ingredients. The garlic, added roasted as well, adds a mellow depth without overpowering the beets’ flavor.
This hummus lacks the traditional tahini component, resulting in a lighter and sweeter taste profile with a creamy, rich texture from the chickpeas and olive oil. Seasoned with salt and black pepper, it balances earthiness with a bright lemony tang. Optional garnishes can add crunch or extra visual appeal.
This beet hummus serves well as a snack or appetizer, ideal with fresh vegetables, crackers, or spread onto sandwiches. Its vibrant color also makes it appealing for parties or gatherings. The recipe’s simplicity and unique flavor offer a fresh twist on classic hummus.
Ingredients
- 4 small beet diced, roasted
- 3 cloves garlic roasted
- 3 tbsp + 2 drizzles olive oil
- 1 can chickpeas 540mL
- 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400 and in a piece of tinfoil, wrap up peeled, diced, and coated with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place it in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
- OPTIONAL: At the same time, cut off the top of a head of garlic, place it in the middle of a piece of tinfoil, drizzle olive oil on the top of the garlic, and wrap it up and bake alongside the beets.
- Once everything is cooked, in a food processor, place your beets, 3 cloves of garlic, a can of (drained but keep liquid aside) chickpeas, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. While pulsing in the food processor, if liquid is needed, add the liquid from the chickpeas into the food processor.
- You may need to scrap down the sides with a spatula in food processor. Once done, serve as is. (Optional: garnish! I put some olive oil and some sunflower seeds to add a bit of a crunch).
