Isn't the colour of this hummus amazing? The roasted beets add a sweet earthiness to the hummus. It's not an overpowering beet flavour, just subtle enough to add a wonderful complexity and beautiful colour to the dip.

Directions

Click:

  1. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
  2. Cut beets into ½ inch (1 cm) slices and lay on a parchment-lined baking tray. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 40 - 45 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside to cool.
  3. Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed. If you’d like the consistency to be creamier, add more tahini. If you’d like more zest, add more lemon juice.
  4. Plate, sprinkle on garnish, serve, and enjoy!

This is my GO TO beetroot hummus recipe. I first made the mistake of boiling the beets and it resulted in such a watery hummus that went bad so fast :( but then i followed sadia s instructions to roast them and their sweet earthy flavor was LEGIT. i ve taken this recipe to parties and friends keep requesting it cuz it s that good.

One of the best hummus recipes I've ever tried. The beets elevate Sadia's base recipe to something that's even more amazing! I also love the jeweled color. I like using this with avocado toast.

We appreciate this so much, Victoria, and are so thrilled the hummus has been enjoyed 🤩

This has become my go-to hummus recipe! My usual way to have it is on toast with avocado and sprouts, it is so gorgeous with the bright hummus. It has a slight earthiness to it, but the beet flavor isn't too pronounced, so if you're not a huge fan of beets I would still recommend it.

We appreciate this review so much, Kay, thank you for sharing! 😀

One word: wow! Perfect snack option for me as a diabetic, and complements so well with seed crackers. This hummus has been enjoyed in its own right
