Tips

  • To roast the beetroot, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the beetroot into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the beetroot for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • To make the hummus, combine the roasted beetroot, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor or high-powered blender. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika or chopped parsley.
  • To make a roasted garlic hummus, roast a head of garlic in the oven until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Then, add the roasted garlic to the food processor along with the other hummus ingredients.
  • To make a spicy hummus, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the food processor along with the other hummus ingredients.
  • For a smoky hummus, roast the beetroot and garlic over a charcoal grill instead of in the oven. This will give the hummus a delicious smoky flavor.

Conclusion

Roasted beetroot and garlic hummus is a delicious and healthy dip that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Serve it with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables for a satisfying snack or appetizer.
