Zesty Roasted Beet Hummus Recipe
Description
Zesty Roasted Beet Hummus features whole roasted beets pureed with chickpeas, tahini paste, fresh garlic, lemon zest and juice, ground cumin, salt, and a touch of cayenne pepper. Roasting the beets until fork-tender brings out their natural sweetness and tender texture, which blends smoothly with the creamy chickpeas and nutty tahini. The garlic and cumin provide aromatic earthiness, while lemon and cayenne contribute brightness and mild heat respectively.
The resulting hummus is rich in color and flavor, offering a balanced combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy elements with a smooth consistency. It pairs well with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or veggie chips, making it an appealing and wholesome option for gatherings or snacks.
Stored in an airtight container, this hummus keeps well refrigerated for up to one week, maintaining its freshness and vibrant flavor for multiple servings.
Ingredients
- 1 beet or 2 small beets, average size
- 15 ounce chickpeas drained and rinsed, canned
- ¼ cup tahini paste
- 1 small garlic peeled, clove
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- parsley scallions, and extra lemon zest, optional garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the beet(s) on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, approximately 60 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off the beet and cut it in half.
- Set out a large food processor. Add the beets, chickpeas, tahini paste, garlic, lemon zest and juice, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Lock the lid into place and puree until smooth. If needed, scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula and puree again.
- Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and serve with fresh vegetables, veggie chips, or pita chips.
Notes
- Store roasted beet hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
