Roasted Beet Hummus Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Beets

   If using raw beets, roast them by wrapping in foil and baking at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool, then peel and chop.

2. 2

   Blend Ingredients

   In a food processor, combine the roasted beets, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and water.

3. 3

   Process Until Smooth

   Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

4. 4

   Adjust Seasoning

   Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or cumin as needed. Add paprika to taste.

5. 5

   Serve

   Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil and additional paprika if desired. Serve with pita, vegetables, or your choice of dippers.
