But first, let’s talk about the star ingredient: beets. These ruby-red wonders are not only visually stunning but pack a serious nutritional punch. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, beets are known to support heart health, improve digestion, and boost athletic performance. Incorporating them into your diet is a delicious way to nourish your body from the inside out.

Now, onto the humble chickpea. This legume powerhouse forms the base of our beloved hummus, adding creaminess and a dose of plant-based protein to the mix. Combined with roasted beets, tahini, garlic, lemon, olive oil, cumin, coriander and a touch of balsamic vinegar this recipe takes your taste buds on a flavor-packed journey.

One of the best things about this recipe? It’s incredibly simple to make. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, you can whip up a batch of Roasted Beet Hummus that rivals anything you’d find at your favorite deli.

To start, preheat your oven and roast your beets until they’re tender and caramelized. Once cooled, simply peel and dice them, then toss them into a food processor along with the rest of the ingredients. Give it all a whirl until smooth and creamy, and voila – you’ve got yourself a vibrant bowl of homemade goodness that can be enjoyed straight away or kept in the fridge for up to a week.

Now, let’s talk flavor. The earthiness of the beets pairs beautifully with the nuttiness of the tahini, while the garlic, balsamic vinegar and lemon add brightness and depth. A pinch of cumin and coriander rounds out the flavor profile, giving this hummus a subtle hint of warmth that keeps you coming back for more.

Serve your Roasted Beet Hummus with a variety of dippers – think crisp carrot sticks, crunchy cucumber slices, or your favorite whole-grain crackers. It’s perfect for snacking, spreading on sandwiches, or dolloping onto salads for an extra burst of color and flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375 °F / 190 °C.
Wrap the beet in foil and cook for 40 – 50 minutes, until tender. You know it’s ready when you can insert a knife into the center without resistance. Let it cool slightly and peel, the skin should slip right off.
Chop the beet and toss it in the food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth and creamy. This might take a few seconds. Taste and adjust seasonings.

You can store the hummus in an air-tight container in the fridge for 7 – 10 days.
