A colorful and creamy homemade beet hummus that combines earthy sweetness of beets with classic chickpea hummus, perfect for entertaining or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium cooked beetroot (about 100 g), roasted or boiled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) tahini
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 2–4 tbsp (30–60 ml) water, to thin hummus as needed
  • Optional toppings: toasted sesame seeds, chopped fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beet by roasting at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes or boiling for 30-40 minutes until tender. Let cool, peel, and chop into chunks.
  2. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water. Pulse until roughly combined, then process for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Transfer half of the classic hummus to a separate bowl. Add chopped cooked beet chunks to the remaining hummus in the processor and blend until smooth and vibrantly colored. Adjust salt and lemon juice to taste.
  4. On a serving board, spread the classic hummus in a wide, shallow oval shape. Dollop the beet hummus on top in blobs or lines and gently swirl with a spatula or spoon to create a marbled effect without overmixing.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with optional toppings like toasted sesame seeds, fresh herbs, or smoked paprika. Serve with pita chips, sliced veggies, or crackers.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for smoother hummus. Peeling chickpeas is optional but improves texture. Add water or olive oil gradually to avoid runny hummus. Swirl beet and classic hummus gently to preserve color contrast. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 4 days; stir before serving. Can freeze up to 2 months.
