Beet Hummus
Roasted beets give this beet hummus recipe its sweet, earthy flavor and vibrant color. Made with simple ingredients like canned chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), tahini, garlic, and lemon, it's an easy, delicious appetizer or snack! Vegan and gluten-free.
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- 2
Place the beet on a sheet of foil. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap the beet in the foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for to 50 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Remove the beet from the oven, remove the foil, and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skin. I like to hold it under running water and slide the skin off with my hands. Roughly chop the beet.

In a food processor, place the roasted beet, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, coriander, cumin, salt, and water. Process until very smooth, adding more water as needed to reach your desired consistency. Season to taste.
