How to Make Beet Hummus – Step by Step

  1. Add all ingredients to food processor and blend until smooth & cream
  2. Add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick – that’s it!! Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top if desired.

Tips, Tricks & Storage

When you make this recipe, use cooked beets that have not been pickled. You can buy precooked beets in most supermarkets, or you can roast your own at home.

If you are roasting yourself, you can do so with just olive oil, or wrap beets in foil first which traps steam and keeps the moisture in.

Use raw garlic to make this a 5 minute recipe, but roasted garlic gives a better flavor. Roast multiple cloves garlic in the oven at once and use for several recipes.

This stores well in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4-5 days to maintain the best taste.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Beetroot Hummus

From an Ayurvedic perspective, beetroot hummus gently supports the liver and Ayurveda considers it a true “liver-loving” recipe. Beetroot brings Pitta pacifying qualities that help the liver manage excess heat and support balanced hormones.

Its natural sweetness is nourishing to Vata while chickpeas provide steady energy. Adding a squeeze of lemon and mild spices also supports digestion.
