    Roasted Beet Hummus

    Jump to Recipe

    You can never go wrong with a great hummus! Whether you're making a batch to have in your fridge for healthy snacking, or you're making a bowl for a party, it's always a hit! And if you add roasted beets, you also get the most beautiful color. This Roasted Beet Hummus is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

    As always, I do include a few affiliate links in this post for products I truly use and love. This just means that if you make a purchase after clicking one of those links, I'll earn a little money (at no cost to you) to keep the kitchen up and running, which I promise to use to create more fun content like this! One of those affiliates is with Amazon, which requires a very clear disclosure: as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Ingredients for roasted beet hummus in small bowls.

    Ingredients you need

    One of the beautiful things about hummus is it's very uncomplicated and largely made with pantry staples. You will need:

    • Beets: a little goes a long way here. You really only need one roasted beet if you're making one batch of the hummus.
    • Tahini: pick a good quality tahini, as this is what will give your hummus such a great sesame flavor. I like this one from Amazon, but there are so many good options!
    • Olive oil: again, a good quality olive oil will shine in this recipe! I could probably write a whole post about my favorite olive oils, but I really like the oils from California Olive Ranch.
    • Garlic cloves: garlic cloves provide a stronger flavor than garlic powder
    • Lemon juice: fresh lemon juice is the best! Break out that squeezer / juicer!
    • Chickpeas: chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, are the star of this show. Make sure to give them a good rinse first! I’m not precious about which brand, so use whatever you like most!
    • A few pantry spices including cumin and flaky sea salt (I like to use Maldon Salt here)
    • And of course, toppings: I like to use olive oil, roasted pine nuts, fresh parsley, salt and pepper

    Equipment you'll need

    You probably have everything you need, but a few things I like to use:

    • Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor from Amazon
    • NordicWare Baking Sheets from Amazon (for roasting the beet)
    • GIR Spatulas from Amazon

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What if I wanted to add more beets?

    You certainly could, you'll just need to adjust the level of liquid as well. You could add more olive oil, or even water to help reach your desired consistency.

    How should you store Roasted Beet Hummus?

    This is a great dish to make in advance and then pull out when you're ready to serve (or to make a batch and keep for snacking throughout the week). If that's your plan, or if you're storing leftovers, store the hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-7 days. As long as it smells good, it's still good to eat.
