Roasted Beet Hummus and Veggies (WEM)

Recipes | January 28, 2016

Truthfully, I don’t love hummus.  At least store bought hummus, some restaurants are good, but typically I don’t really eat hummus very often.  However, when I came across this bright red veggie hummus dip, I was intrigued and had to try it!  Beets are a great ingredient to use, they are high in vitamins and minerals and have tons of other healthy benefits.

Beet Hummus POST

Ingredients:
1 cup roasted beets (2-3 large beets or 5-6 small beets)
1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 lemons, juiced
1/2 lemon, zested
3 garlic cloves
salt & pepper to taste
assorted veggies for dipping

Instructions:

  1. I roasted the beets by wrapping them in foil and baking at 400 degree for approx. 30 minutes. Until they’re easily pierced with a  fork and the skin falls off easily.
  2. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth and blended well.
  3. You can add more lemon juice to thin it out a little and add salt and pepper per your personal preference.

    I love hummus, but I don’t get how this one would taste much like hummus without tahini and cumin.

    I’m not a big hummus/chickpea fan but I love beets and their wonderful benefits. I’ll have to make a small batch to try.
