Beet Hummus
A vibrantly pink, slightly sweet and deliciously healthy beet hummus, very easily made by placing all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
For the Beet Hummus
- 1 roasted beet peeled and chopped
- 1 can chickpeas drained
- 2/3 cup tahini
- 2-3 zest & juice lemons about 1/3 cup of lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 handfull chopped herbs
Topping Options
- 1 handful of chopped parsley, za’atar, thinly sliced radishes, pine nuts, some more lemon zest, gomasio, bee pollen, big salt flakes, olive oil, or anything else your heart desires for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the chickpeas, tahini, beet, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt in the bowl of a food processor.
- With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and blend until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin or salt as needed. I like mine extra garlicky and lemony!
- Serve in a bowl and sprinkle parsley, za’atar, lemon zest, nuts, big salt flakes or anything else your heart desires. I think swirls of olive oil look dreamy in the dish and taste fantastic. See my pics for different topping options are omit toppings all together.
Notes
- If you have a food processor, now is the time to use it! If you don’t, a blender works too.
- Use the best possible tahini you can find.
- Using dried chickpeas will create an even better flavor than canned, but take more time. I *highly* suggest ya try with dried chickpeas sometime.
- Get playful with toppings options. See some suggestions below and all my pics for ideas.
- Leftover hummus will keep in the fridge a week.
- Hummus may thicken up in the fridge, dilute with 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time until you get your perfect consistency again.
