    Roasted Beet & Garlic Hummus

    Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe Print Recipe

    There is something so special about homemade hummus. In my opinion, you can taste the difference. The freshness of the ingredients really stands out. That's why this roasted beet and garlic hummus is so delicious. Fresh spring beets are roasted in the oven with a small head of garlic. The aroma that will take over your kitchen is to die for. After the beets and garlic are roasted, all you have to do is add them to a food processor with a few other ingredients and blend. You certainly won't be able to resist the gorgeous magenta color of this hummus. It's basically spring in a bowl!

    How To Roast The Beets and Garlic

    You only need a half cup of beets for this recipe which is about the equivalent of 1-2 beets. But since you're turning on the oven, you might as well roast a bunch of them because you can use up the rest in salads, rice dishes, smoothies, or eat them as a side dish.

    There are several methods you can use for roasting beets, but I like to use a Dutch oven. If you don't have an oven proof pot with a lid, you can simply wrap the beets in aluminum foil as you would a baked potato and place them on a baking sheet. Depending on the size of the beets, it can take anywhere from 45 min to an hour and change for the beets to soften and caramelize. With both methods I wrap the garlic so it doesn't burn.

    Making Hummus

    I used cannellini beans for this hummus recipe because I just love creamy texture and flavor of the bean. It translates to a creamier hummus as well. It's mild flavor works perfectly, so that the roasted beets and garlic remain the star of the show. A bit of tahini, a splash of apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper and olive oil are all you need to finish up this tasty dish. You can't get more healthy, fresh ingredients than that! I love to top my hummus with things like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, freshly drizzled olive oil or whatever seasonings I'm in the mood for.
