The absolute best appetizer to bring to your next potluck! Not only is this beet hummus beautiful in colour and texture, but the flavour cannot be beet. Ha, see what I did there?
Plus who doesn’t love an easy recipe? My favourite recipes typically involve a food processor. 🙂
How do you make beet hummus?
Quickly cook your beets by adding them to a sauce pan covered in water. Boil until fork tender, just enough to get them to easily purée in a food processor. Then drain and add to your food processor, along with all remaining ingredients.
Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more or less water to achieve desired consistency.
I find the texture of this beet hummus so perfectly “dippable”. Is that a word? It should be! It’s just perfect. Give it a try! Serve with warmed up pitas sliced into triangle wedges, or with veggie sticks or crackers. You may even use this hummus to top your next salad for a delicious, healthy, and protein packed dressing.
If you’re feeling fancy, use this hummus to top your next burger!
Just look how this beautiful beet hummus brightens up the plate. Yum!
The combo of the beet hummus with my Sweet Potato Bean Burger is absolutely incredible.

It’s too bad I can’t post a pic of my creation on here! You should have seen my hubby’s face when he tried this new hummus! 😋 That alone told me enough, but his words confirmed that it is “sooo good!” Also, I made the oil free version, and it is fantastic. 👌
I just discovered this website like 10 days ago, and for sure have made at least 5 (more, I think) recipes off of it. ALL a screaming success. THIS coming from newly minted vegans of only about 3 months—ones who were hardcore foodies for steak, cheese, ice cream etc. You know it’s no lie. Rosa is a master at her craft. Thanks for making this enormous life change easier, sista!!!

Great idea to make hummus out of beets – love how easy it is! And I agree, food made in the food processor is the best!
