 roasted beet hummus

Do you like hummus ? Are you one of those people who like eating healthy and are looking for creative ways to enjoy your veggies?

If the answer is yes to both questions, then there could be nothing better than this easy homemade roasted beet hummus.

This recipe offers  a little twist to the traditional hummus which is made mainly of chickpeas only. There is no doubt that you will admit it is the best hummus recipe that you have ever tasted.

Although, plain hummus is undoubtedly one of the best dips around, you can always surprise your loved ones and bring something different to your dining table.

A spicy guacamole or moutabel served with tortilla chips or fresh hot pita bread is another great way to satisfy your taste buds.

Spicy lamb kebabs and malai chicken kebabs are also some great options for a family gathering or get-together. These are some amazing holiday recipes.

Variations of hummus

For people who are not a great fan of hummus, the bright and radiant color of this creamy and delicious dip is enough to make them try it once. 

There are different ways you can make the beet hummus. Some like to roast the beet in oven but the idea of keeping the oven on for roasting one of two beets is something which I
 am not comfortable with. Some recipes also calls for boiled beets but it lacks the flavor that roasting brings out.

Raw beet hummus is also something which you could try. I find the flavor of beet overpowering and if its not cooked, the hummus is not creamy or smooth like the ones with cooked beets.

On the other hand, in this recipe of beetroot hummus without oven, you can roast and cook the beet on stovetop with some olive oil. The roasting gives it a beautiful flavor which makes it more tempting. What could be better than having something tasty, healthy and nutritious to satisfy your hunger. 

Pack it in your lunch or your kids lunch boxes along with your favorite vegetables or crackers.

How to make roasted beet hummus?

Cut the beets into small cubes and roast it on medium heat along with some olive oil and garlic,

Put the roasted and cooked beets, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt into your food processor and blend them until mostly smooth. Make sure the beets and the chickpeas are completely cooled.

Now slowly add in a little water. Once you have achieved the required velvety consistency, your roasted beet hummus is ready.

The earthy flavor of beets, the nuttiness of tahini, and the tanginess of the lemons make a unique combination and imparts a creamy and delicious flavor to the dip.

This roasted beet and garlic hummus, is a variation to the traditional hummus.

Is hummus healthy

The two main ingredients of this creamy dip are chickpeas and beets, both of which have have great nutritional value.

Chickpeas contain a lot of plant-based protein, fiber, as well as healthy carbohydrates. They not only help in digestion and manage your weight, but also naturally reduce cholesterol levels.

Beets also has some great benefits. Although, they are low in calories they are loaded with nutrients. They are known to contain high levels of vitamins and minerals. This helps to keep your blood pressure normal, improve digestion and can even help fight some types of cancers.

How to store hummus? Shelf-life 

Homemade roasted beet hummus can be easily stored in  an air tight container in your refrigerator, where it can last up to 3 to 5 days. It stores well if you add a thin layer of olive oil on top. If the hummus becomes too thick in the refrigerator, gradually add few teaspoons of water water to change its consistency before serving.

If you want to store it for a longer duration, then freeze your roasted beet hummus in small batches. Before using the frozen dip, let it thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator for couple of hours, stir it well and use. 

Store bought hummus lasts longer, mostly unto a week or two. Follow thee best if used by and expiration date on the package.
