Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Beet Hummus.
Step 1
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a gentle boil. Add the beet and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Once cooked, remove the beet and let it cool. You can also place it in a bowl of cold water to speed up the cooling process.
Step 3
Peel the cooled beet, cut it into small pieces, and transfer it to the bowl of a food processor.
Step 4
Add the tahini to the beet pieces and blend until smooth.
Step 5
Incorporate the lemon juice, garlic, and a portion of the chickpeas; pulse until well combined.
Step 6
Gradually add the remaining chickpeas, blending after each addition until smooth.
Step 7
With the processor running, slowly stream in the olive oil until the hummus reaches a creamy consistency. If it's too thick, add a bit of water to achieve your desired texture.
