Roasted Beet Hummus

Here’s an easy snack or hors d’oeuvre for your next party. The addition of beans gives it a creamy texture and due to the beets it has a beautiful color and sweetness. This would be a great recipe to make on a Sunday night, along with cutting up your vegetables and portion it out for the week for a feel good, healthy, delicious snack for the next few days.

Tips:

  • You can buy cooked beets in the produce section of the grocery store to make this even easier.

  • To roast a beet, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place your beet in piece of foil, drizzle with some olive oil. Seal the foil and roast it on a baking sheet until a knife pierces the beet easily. Allow the beet to cool slightly and the skin will easily peel off. Make a bunch at one time and use them in salads too.

  • Locally, we can find golden beets and the red ones used here. Both are delicous.

  • Don’t like beets? Roast a few carrots whole and use them. It’s really good!

  • Refrigerate in an airtight container up to three days.
