Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked beetroot (roasted, boiled, or steamed)
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2–3 garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 2–4 tablespoons cold water or aquafaba (to adjust texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Cook the beetroot until tender by roasting, boiling, or steaming and then allow it to cool. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas to keep the flavors fresh.
  2. Blend the Base: Place the cooked beetroot, chickpeas, garlic cloves, tahini, and lemon juice into a high-speed blender or food processor. Pulse until the mixture is roughly combined.
  3. Add Olive Oil and Seasoning: While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and add salt to taste. Continue processing until the hummus achieves a creamy consistency.
  4. Adjust Texture: If the hummus is too thick, add cold water or aquafaba a little at a time and blend until the desired smoothness and spreadability are reached.
  5. Taste and Finalize: Taste the hummus and adjust the lemon juice, salt, or garlic amounts according to your preference before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh beets for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Choose a smooth, well-stirred or homemade tahini for optimal creaminess.
  • Add lemon juice gradually and taste frequently to balance flavors.
  • Add water or aquafaba slowly to avoid a watery dip.
  • Chill the hummus in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld beautifully before serving.
