Check out the color of this bowl of healthy wholesome goodness.

It’s almost hard to believe not a single artificial food coloring was used in this hummus. Mother Nature is so brilliant with her natural tinting abilities.

I had beet hummus for the first time a few weeks ago (2016) at a blogging retreat in Park City, Utah. I instantly fell in love with the color. It’s so vibrant and really brightens any appetizer spread or hummus and veggie tray. And the flavor is earthy and delicious.

I dipped crispy naan points and veggies into it, but as a spread on a sandwich or avocado toast is how I personally love it most.

To Make This Roasted Beet Hummus You Will Need:

  • beets
  • garlic
  • olive oil
  • tahini

  • kosher salt
  • everything seasoning – Used for serving. Optional.

beets on foil drizzled with olive oil

Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).

To start, trim the leafy ends off of 8 to 10 ounces of beets. Wash well and pat dry before placing them on a sheet of foil.

garlic with oil and salt on foil

On a separate sheet, I place 2 cloves of unpeeled garlic. Drizzle both with a little olive oil.

Next fold up the foil so they looked like purses. Place them onto a rimmed baking sheet and slide it into your preheated oven. The beets should roast 40-50 minutes or until fork tender. And the garlic only needs 25 minutes.

Allow both beets and garlic to cool before peeling. I have a kitchen towel dedicated to rubbing the beets skin off, but you can use paper towels instead. Wearing nitrile gloves is also handy.

Once peeled, quarter the beets and add them into your food processor (fitted with the blade attachment) along with the (peeled) roasted garlic, juice of 1 lemon and 1/4 cup tahini and a few pinches of kosher salt.

Secure the lid and give it a few long pulses. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides.
