Here is a recipe for roasted beet hummus that is infused with lemon zest and lemon juice - it's a gorgeous pink color and a departure from the typical hummus. Roasted beet hummus is great with pita chips, on shawarma, or with carrots and veggies!
why you should put beets in your homemade hummus
Not only does this recipe have a beautiful pink color, beets really complement the flavor of chickpeas.
This hummus, though, really tastes a lot like bright lemon, after all is said and done.
How to make homemade, bright pink beet hummus
- wrap the beets in foil with a splash of olive oil and salt. roast the beet at 425 for 30 min. let cool and peel, then cut into quarters.
- in a food processor, pulse the beet first until grated.
- add in everything else - chickpeas, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil - and whiz to combine! that's really it
Options for eating hummus
In addition to eating hummus as a dip with veggies, make a little open-face sandwich with it -- put an egg on top!
