When you think that the key ingredient to making beetroot hummus is beetroot it's so crazy because this is an extremely underrated vegetable that's so good for the body, makes a host of delicious, healthy and beautiful recipes, is affordable - the all too simple yet powerful beetroot.
BEETROOT HUMMUS
5 minutes and you're hummus is ready! Once your beetroot is roasted (or boiled) you can keep it in the fridge for a day or 2 before you decide what you want to use it for.
If you are someone that doesn't want to taste the raw earth flavor of the beetroot then add tahini because I find that it almost takes away that raw food taste which is exactly what I like. To each his own and here's why you should make this recipe;
- Versatile
- Healthy
- Affordable
- Easy & delicious
- Vibrant color
- Vegan friendly
- Guten free if you're gluten intolerant
- Super simple
Another way my family loves to eat beetroot is with vinegar! Pickled beetroot is big favorite in our family so that will be an upcoming recipe!

TIPS & SUGGESTIONS
My one and only suggestion to this easy bright red vegan beetroot hummus is to reserve the water when draining the liquid from the chickpeas. I always find that reserving the liquid can take the hummus from good to ridiculously amazing! So give it a try the next time you make hummus.
Oh and also....
- you can use one garlic clove (I just love garlic so I used 2)
- if you don't have olive oil use another good quality oil

Beetroot Hummus
Ingredients
- 2 small Roasted beetroot instructions.
- 410 grams chickpeas 1 regular can rinsed and drained
- 2 tbsps tahini
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 small fresh garlic cloves
- 1 fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt and pepper to taste
- chopped herbs optional
Instructions
- Once the beetroot has cooled down start by peeling and chopping the beetroot (just makes it easier for the processor) and add it into the food processor.
- Add the garlic, chickpeas, lemon juice, salt & pepper and blend till smooth. Add the olive oil by gradually pouring into the processor as it spins. OPTIONAL: Add the reserved liquid from the chickpeas gradually (just as much as you need) to give it a creamier consistency and it also helps to keep it moist as opposed to using additional oil. Water by the teaspoon is your other option if you want it slightly thinner.
- Keep chilled and serve on toast, crackers or eat with veggies or pasta.Enjoy xoxo
