Description
These Roasted Beet Hummus Cups are a vibrant and healthy appetizer with a creamy texture, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked beets, chopped
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Olive oil
- Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., parsley or thyme)
- Crispy vegetable chips or pita chips for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the beets into wedges, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for about 25-30 minutes until tender. Let the roasted beets cool before blending.
- In a food processor, combine the cooled roasted beets, drained chickpeas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding a drizzle of olive oil as needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Once your beet hummus is smooth and creamy, spoon it into small serving cups.
- Garnish each cup with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme. Serve with crispy vegetable chips or pita chips for dipping.
Notes
To save time, you can use store-bought roasted beets instead of roasting them yourself. For extra creaminess, add Greek yogurt.
