Beetroot hummus in a white bowl

I’m totally in love with the vibrant pink color of this roasted beetroot hummus! Doesn’t it look pretty?

Roasted beetroots, with their subtle sweetness, add a delicious twist to the traditional hummus!

Try it as a snack with your favorite veggies, crackers or as a spread on your sandwiches and wraps. I had mine slathered on a slice of toasted whole wheat bread topped with avocado. Amazing!

The recipe is very easy but roasting beetroots takes some time, approximately 1 to 2 hours (it depends on the size of your beets). Once they are cooked, this hummus comes together very quickly. Just toss all the ingredients in the food processor and blend until it’s creamy.

If you don’t want to wait for 2 hours feel free to microwave the beets, buy precooked beets in vacuum packed bags or roast them the night before. 

Hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

If you are a hummus fan you have to try this recipe! It’s simple, healthy and it will look impressive to bring to any party!
