There are several ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-beets\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-beets\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cook beets<\/a>, and for this recipe you&#8217;ll roast them. Roasting removes excess moisture from the beets and intensifies their sweetness. You can use drained canned beets, as well; just make sure they&#8217;re not pickled beets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A whole garlic bulb:<\/strong> Garlic lovers, this hummus is for you! An entire bulb of garlic packs this hummus with flavor (the strong taste of the beets stands up to the extra dose of seasoning). Roasting removes the sharp flavor of raw garlic, giving it a pleasant mellowness. Don&#8217;t love garlic? Reduce the quantity, or sub it out for a roasted shallot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chickpeas:<\/strong> The base of classic hummus? Chickpeas, aka garbanzo beans. These mild, savory legumes contain fiber and plant protein, and they blend into a creamy smoothness. Use canned beans for ease, or make your own from scratch. Here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/chickpea-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/chickpea-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chickpea recipes<\/a> so you can use every last garbanzo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> Lemon juice provides essential acid to brighten the rich, earthy ingredients in hummus. Fresh lemon juice is best, but bottled works in a pinch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greek yogurt:<\/strong> Adding strained (Greek-style) yogurt to the hummus is optional, but it will help make your hummus become super creamy, and it adds a pleasant tang. Leave out the yogurt to keep this hummus a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-vegan-snacks\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-vegan-snacks\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegan snack<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Microwave the beets<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Pierce the beets with a fork or sharp knife. Place the beets in a microwave-safe bowl, and cover loosely with paper towels. Microwave the beets on high for four minutes, stirring halfway to ensure they cook evenly. Allow to cool slightly, then wrap each beet in foil as individual packets.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Roast the beets and garlic<\/h3>\n<p>Remove the papery outer skin from the garlic bulb, but do not peel or separate the cloves. Cut the bulb in half crosswise. Sprinkle the halves with 1\/4 teaspoon salt and 1\/4 teaspoon pepper, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap each half in individual foil packets. Roast the beets and garlic until the garlic cloves are soft and can be easily pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Puree the hummus<\/h3>\n<p>Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven. Carefully unwrap from the foil. Rinse the beets with cold water until you can safely handle them, then peel them. Place the beets in a food processor. Squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, and add them to the food processor. Add the garbanzo beans, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, cayenne pepper and remaining oil, salt and pepper. Process until smooth.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Add the final flavorings<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1949189\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Roasted-Beetroot-and-Garlic-Hummus_MOC210448C_jpg.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Roasted Beetroot And Garlic in a bowl on vegetables\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If desired, pulse 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt into the beet hummus. Scrape the hummus into a serving bowl. If desired, dollop the remaining yogurt over the top. Sprinkle with dill or parsley. Serve with assorted vegetables, crackers or pita bread.<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Swap the beans:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t have (or love) chickpeas? Try another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-canned-beans\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-canned-beans\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of canned bean<\/a>. White beans taste great with this recipe; try adding beets to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cannellini-bean-hummus\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cannellini-bean-hummus\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">white bean hummus<\/a>, or use navy or butter beans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap out the beets:<\/strong> Roasted beets add sweetness and color to this hummus, but other roasted vegetables can achieve a similar effect. Roasted sweet potatoes, red peppers, carrots and winter squash are tasty choices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap the seasonings:<\/strong> Dill and beets are a natural pairing, but there&#8217;s a wide world of spices and herbs that will taste great here. Parsley and cilantro, fresh or dried, are tasty. Paprika or smoked paprika would add an earthy note to the dip, while sumac would add a bright citrusy flavor.

A great tangy spice you want to know more about!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Beet Hummus<\/h2>\n<p>Store leftover beet hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three or four days. As it sits, the hummus may thicken up a bit; simply stir in a bit of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice or plain water to loosen it up.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Freeze Beet Hummus<\/h2>\n<p>Beet hummus (like all hummus recipes) freezes very well. Freeze in a tightly sealed container for up to four months. Thaw in the refrigerator. The thawed hummus may be slightly thicker or grainer in texture; stirring in yogurt or olive oil will smooth it. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh dill to liven up the flavors.<\/p>\n<h2>Beet Hummus Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1949183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Roasted-Beetroot-and-Garlic-Hummus_248-PBHB_MSedit.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Roasted Beetroot And Garlic Hummus ina plate with other vegetables\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you make smoother hummus?<\/h3>\n<p>For the smoothest possible hummus, remove the skins of the chickpeas before blending the hummus.
