Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for small to medium-sized beets with deep red color and no signs of blemishes or bruises.
  • Roasting the beets: Roasting the beets intensifies their sweetness and flavor. You can roast them whole, wrapped in foil, at 400°F for about an hour, or until tender.
  • Peeling the beets: Once the beets are roasted, let them cool slightly, then use your hands to rub off the skin. It should come off easily.
  • Using canned beets: If you're short on time, you can use canned beets instead of roasting your own. Just drain and rinse them before using.
  • Adding flavor: Feel free to add other flavors to your beet hummus, such as garlic, lemon juice, cumin, or cayenne pepper.
  • Serving suggestions: Beet hummus is a versatile dip or spread. Serve it with pita bread, crackers, vegetable crudités, or as a sandwich spread.
