Tips:

  • To enhance the flavor of your hummus, use roasted beets instead of raw beets. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness and earthiness of the beets.
  • Choose fresh, firm beets that are deep red in color. Avoid beets that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Be sure to peel the beets before roasting them. The skin can be tough and bitter.
  • Roast the beets until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
  • Once the beets are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling them. They will be very hot.
  • To make the hummus, simply combine the roasted beets, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, and salt in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Serve the hummus immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later. Hummus will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
