Serve with pita bread-you can cut pita bread into wedges and toast it for a different taste sensation. Tahini is a sesame paste, you can usually find it in the Mediterranean section of your grocery store.

CREAMY BEET HUMMUS

This easy beet hummus is bright in flavor and color. Hints of sweetness from the beets, tangy lemon, garlic, and warm spices are blended together for a healthy nutrient-packed dip great for an appetizer or snack to share! The hot pink color makes it a real showstopper. Kick it up a notch by adding a little salty feta. Be sure to read the complete post for more tips and information.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cooked chickpeas (or from can), remove skins for a more smooth finish
15 oz canned beets, drained (or 8 oz fully cooked and cooled beets)
3 tbsp tahini paste
1 small garlic clove
Juice of 1/2 lemon, more if needed
Kosher salt
1/2 tsp each cumin, coriander, and sumac (optional)
2 ice cubes, more if needed
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra Virgin Olive Oil
Garnish (optional): feta cheese and parsley
Pita bread wedges or homemade pita chips
Veggies to dip

Steps:

  • In the large bowl of a food processor fitted with blade, place chickpeas, cooked beets, tahini, garlic, lemon juice. Season with salt and spices.
  • Run processor for a bit, and while it's running, add 2 ice cubes (this helps whip the beet hummus to a nice creamy consistency.)
  • Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Run processor again if the hummus is too thick yet, adding a little more ice as it runs (you can let it run for 4 minutes or so until you reach your desired creamy texture.)
  • Transfer beet hummus to a bowl. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle feta and parsley on top. Serve with pita wedges or homemade pita chips and veggies for dipping.

Avoid waste and enjoy a filling snack by using leftover sweet potatoes in this hummus recipe - it has a spicy kick thanks to smoked paprika and chilli flakes

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Snack, Starter

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4-6 as a snack

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 400g), peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1⁄2 tsp chilli flakes, plus extra to serve (optional)
1 tsp smoked paprika
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 tbsp tahini
1 lemon, juiced
vegetable crudités, breadsticks or crackers and pitted olives, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the sweet potatoes onto a baking tray and drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle over the chilli flakes, if using, and the paprika, then toss to coat in the spiced oil. Spread out to a single layer. Trim away the root of the garlic cloves, then nestle these among the sweet potatoes. Roast for 30-35 mins until the potatoes have softened, tossing halfway through.
  • Remove the tray from the oven and leave to cool completely. Tip the sweet potatoes into a food processor and squeeze in the garlic from its skin. Add the tahini and lemon juice, then blitz for 1 min until the potatoes have broken down.
  • With the motor running, gradually pour in the remaining olive oil. Continue to blitz for up to 4 mins, or until you have a smooth paste. Pour in 50-60ml cold water to loosen, blitz again to combine, then season to taste. Spoon the hummus into a bowl and swirl with the back of a teaspoon, then drizzle over a little more olive oil and scatter with extra chili flakes, if you like. Serve with your choice of veg crudités, breadsticks or crackers and olives for dunking.
