Ingredients

A quick list of the simple ingredients you will need to make this creamy beet hummus.

You can find the ingredients with quantities and the recipe to print out on the recipe card below.

• Cooked whole beets
• Cooked Chickpeas/ Garbanzo Beans
• Fresh Lemon Juice
• Cardamom powder
• Ginger powder
• Allspice
• Garlic Powder
• Tahini
• Aquafaba

Step-by-step Instructions

Cooked or oven-baked beetroots, or buy canned or pre-cooked beets. Add the tahini with lemon juice and the aquafaba to the food processor or high speed blender. Blend until it is creamy and smooth.

Now add the other ingredients and blend again until the desired creaminess is achieved. That can take about 4-5 minutes.

Now taste again and season with the spices.

Hint: Remove the chickpea skins to get the creamiest hummus. Sometimes I do that for extra creamy texture.

Substitutions

• Fresh Beetroots: You can cook your own beet. I love small-medium size beetroot, those a cook quicker. Or just roast your fresh beets in the oven. Sometimes I use pre-cooked beets, especially on busy days and we still want healthy eating.
• Tahini: Instead of the sesame seed paste you can use ground sesame seeds, if you want to. You can also omit those and make it low-fat. To get the creamiest beetroot hummus, remove the skin and add some ice cubes or cold water and blend until creamy.
• Garlic Powder: A little bit of garlic adds a nice flavor to this creamy hummus.
• Cardamom: I love the combo beets and cardamom, gives such a great beet hummus taste. You can also omit this spice and use something to your own taste.
• Chickpeas: You can use canned chickpeas or you cook your dried chickpeas. Thanks to the chickpeas, this homemade hummus is filled with plant-based protein.

Variations

• Cumin Seeds: In my classic hummus recipe, I use little cumin. You can do add to this beetroot dip as well.
• Lemon Zest: Add some lemon zest for some extra flavor.

Storage

• Fridge: You can store it in an airtight container for a healthy snack during the week. It will last in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: You can also freeze this beetroot hummus recipe in a freezer-safe container for about 3 months. I love to freeze it in portion sizes.

Meal Prep

Make a double batch of this amazing hummus recipe, and you always got some on hand.

Serving Suggestions

• For one thing, you can simply use the hummus as a spread or dip. We love it on freshly baked bread, like a spelt bread or baguette. Or with fresh veggies like bell peppers, carrots, celery sticks, cucumber.
• You can also just make a quick pasta sauce from the hummus.
• Or for a quick risotto, just add some Vegan Parmesan.
