Happy Saturday! Weekend snacking calls for this Roasted Beet and White Bean Hummus! It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and a whole lot of creamy goodness!

This is a quick one today, but I’m stopping in with a purpose! Not only does your Saturday night snacking need this hummus, but I’m sharing this recipe as part of a virtual baby shower. Curious? Keep reading.

But first, this hummus…

You know me and hummus, right? The addiction is real. But it’s a healthy addiction. And one that I share with my husband. Yes, he eats hummus! I always make a batch on the weekend, so I know whatever happens during the week, we have some healthy snacks at the ready.

While pretzels and crackers are great with hummus, we usually pair it with a variety of veggies. My husband will lay claim to the carrots, but I enjoy my hummus with peppers, celery, baby tomatoes and cauliflower.

I usually make this red pepper arugula hummus or this cilantro jalapeño edamame version. Both are spicy and packed with leafy greens and legumes. And with all the fibre, you definitely get a filling snack.

A few weeks ago, I decided to mix things up a bit and make this Roasted Beet and White Bean Hummus. The recipe requires a bit more time as you roast your beets first. But once roasted, you just add them to your food processor along with your other ingredients, and whip up this pink creamy goodness in minutes! If you’re pressed for time, you can even use pre-packaged cooked beets.

This hummus is bright pink and has a slightly sweeter taste. It still has some kick from the Thai pepper, but it’s not too spicy. I also used white kidney beans instead of chick peas, and added some red kale, which adds some extra fibre.

If you love beets and you’re a fan of hummus, then you should definitely give this Roasted Beet and White Bean Hummus a try!

Before I actually share this recipe, you all know I don’t usually post on the weekends, but today is a special day.

I’m joining with a bunch of my fellow bloggers for a virtual baby shower in honour of Katherine at Love in My Oven. She’s expecting the arrival of her baby girl soon, and we are all sharing some pink themed recipes today as a way to celebrate!

Below you will find some more information on Katherine and links to the other recipes being shared today. I hope you get a chance to visit some of the sites and check out the delicious recipes by some very talented foodies!

  • Prep Time: 10
  • Cook Time: 35
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 2 cups 1x
  • Category: Snacks
Scale

Ingredients

  • 1–1/2 cups fresh beets, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar (divided)
  • 1 cup red kale, packed, torn and stems removed
  • 1 – 540 ml can white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed or chopped
  • 1 Thai pepper, with seeds
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground pepper
  • Juice from half a lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the beets to a small bowl and toss with 1 tbsp of oil and 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar. (Save the remaining oil and vinegar for the hummus). Spread out on baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the beets are tender. Be sure to stir/flip them a few times to ensure they don’t burn. Remove from oven and let cool.
  3. Add the cooled beets and remaining ingredients to the food processor bowl, and process on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes. Be sure to stop the food processor occasionally to scrape down the sides.
  4. Scoop the hummus into a bowl and serve with an assortment of veggies, pretzels and crackers.
  5. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days.

Notes

  1. If you don’t have time to roast your beets, you can skip this step and use pre-packaged cooked beets.

    One of my girlfriends brought beet hummus to our book club a few years ago—it was SO good! So glad to have your recipe—cannot wait to make it!

    This is such a refreshing treat among all the goodies that were made for this baby shower. I love that bright pop of deep magenta and texture paired with all of the crudites.

      I added the white kidney beans just to change it up from the usual chick peas! Same great texture, just a slightly different taste. Hope you get to try it Michelle. Have a great day!

    It certainly feels we’re having my kind of party (haha) as there are a few amazing beetroot ideas, and I happen to be a huge fan of roasted beets. I can literally eat roasted beets (with a bit of yogurt) for lunch and dinner for a few days in a row, and I won’t get boared. But beetroot humus always is a good idea too. There’s my large spoon please? 🙂

      Haha, thanks Ben! I’m a huge fan of roasted beets too, but I’ve never tried it with yogurt. Sounds delicious! I’ll have to give it a try!

    I absolutely love hummus and adding beets was such a delicious idea — that color! Big congratulations to Katherine too — she is such a sweetheart!

    I love beetroot. But I have never tried this recipe. Most of the time I prepare beetroot as a side dish along with rice or flatbread. There is one more recipe we prepare using beetroot and that is called pachadi, which is again a side dish. Your recipe sounds great. I will try this recipe soon.

      Thanks Puja! Be sure to let me know what you think if you try this hummus! I love beet as a side dish too. I’m curious about pachadi. I’ll have to check out that side dish. Happy weekend!

      Thanks Heather. Love hummus with chick peas, but I’ve been experimenting with different beans lately, and they’ve all worked really well in hummus! Highly recommend the white beans! 😉

    This looks amazing, even to me, a self-confessed beet skeptic!! The color is gorgeous, and your pictures make it look so appetizing. Truly perfect for a shower – or any party or gathering! Maybe this will get me finally on the beet train. 🙂

    Oh me oh my! I’m such a sucker for homemade hummus, and roasted beets. Bringing them together is a dream and I need to make this stat! I’m due anyway. I stumbled upon a jar of tahini in my pantry this morning and was reminded that I haven’t made hummus in a while. This is a sign…

      Thanks Shauna! I love chickpea hummus, but like to mix it up with different beans and veggies too! The colour of this one definitely adds a pop to the veggie platter. Have a great day!

    OMG this hummus looks amazing! I too am addicted to hummus and love beets! I would have never thought to put purple kale in hummus, I’ll have to give it a try – I LOVE any excuse to add extra veggies to anything! 🙂
