    Ingredient Notes

    Canned or Dried Chickpeas?

    I use canned chickpeas when I make hummus because it is faster. Good quality organic beans are the perfect texture to blend into hummus.

    You can also use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight and cooked on top of the stove.

    Beets

    Beets are extremely healthy, and roasting the beets adds a nice earthy flavor to hummus.

    You can also make roasted beet hummus with leftover cooked beets or drained canned beets.

    TIP! The juice from the beets can make a mess and turn your hands red once the beets are are cooked. Handle the beets carefully to avoid your hands from turning red.

    After roasting the beets, allow them to cool and carefully peel the skin off and cut the beets up.

    Serving & Storage Suggestions

    Serving Suggestions

    Hummus is a favorite snack, and beet hummus is not only pretty, it’s full of vibrant flavor. Serve roasted beet hummus as a dip with fresh vegetables, pita bread or chips.  It also tastes great as a sandwich spread on a Mediterranean Vegetable Sandwich. 

    Storage

    Roasted beet hummus will last in your refrigerator for up to a week, and up to four months in the freezer. Once the frozen hummus has thawed out, stir it up and serve.

    Tip! Hummus can become thick in the refrigerator, gradually add water (by teaspoon) to the hummus to thin it out before serving it.
