Are you sitting down? Because I’m sharing the best damn homemade Beetroot Hummus recipe, with you today! If you’re a colorful person and I know you are, you have got to give this delicious homemade beetroot hummus recipe a try. The bright, fresh dip is absolutely irresistible! It’s loaded with delicious, vibrant flavor and it comes together pretty quick.

It’s the beetroot that gives vibrant red- pinkish color to Hummus. There are different ways that you can make this recipe. If you want the best taste bake the beetroot, If you want quicker recipe just boil the beetroot. You have only 5 minutes to make the dip? No problem! Use beetroot powder!! I have tried all the 3 and they all taste great! But baked beetroot tastes the best and my favorite.

I usually eat this beets hummus as dip with veggies or Pita chips or sometimes I spread them over a loaf of bread and eat them all! I also use them in my wraps and dip for falafel.

Cook fresh beetroot
You need cook the beetroots for this recipe. You can either oven bake it or boil them. To bake the beets, cut off any tops and wash them. You don’t have to peel beetroot before baking. Wrap beets in aluminum foil and place in a 375°F/190°C preheated oven until cooked through and very tender. It can can take 60 minutes if it’s medium beets. Cook a little longer for bigger beets. Let cool slightly, then peel and slice into cubes

If you wish to cook it on stove top, just cut beets into cubes and boil them in hot water until it is very tender about 15-20 minutes.

Using Tahini for Hummus
Tahini is made from Sesame seeds and it gives a wonderful flavor and texture to hummus. I would definitely recommend using Tahini but ,If you choose to omit it, then hummus may turn out dry. You can add water to it little by little and blend it until hummus becomes creamy.

Also, Tahini has become very popular lately, and it can be easily found in large supermarkets. I prefer to make my own Tahini as it’s fairly easy quick and cost effective than buying from store.
