Lemon, Garlic + Beet Hummus Recipe
Prep Time

5-10 Minutes

Total Time

20-30 Minutes

Serves

4-8

Ingredients

16 oz dried garbanzos*

1 roasted beet**

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 cup tahini

3 tablespoons minced garlic

1/2-1 cup water

Juice of 2-3 whole lemons
+ zest of 1 lemon

1/8 cup basil

sea salt + pepper to taste

Directions

1. Prepare your dried garbanzos.

2. In a food processor, process the garbanzos, olive oil, and water on high (about 3-5 minutes) until the mixture forms a creamy consistency. Add water as necessary.

3. Add in tahini, sea salt, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, ground cumin, pepper, and basil. Process on high for another 3-5 minutes.

4. Remove 3/4 of the hummus. Set aside.***

5. With the remaining hummus in food processor, add in your roasted beet.

6. Process on high until your beet is blended well into mixture.

7. Add a dollop (or two!) of the beet hummus in with each serving of the hummus you previously set aside.

Notes

*Canned garbanzos can be used if you want to skip soaking and cooking them yourself.

**Roasted or boiled beets will both work. I prefer roasting them, since you tend to lose a lot of essential nutrients and flavor during the process of boiling.

***Remove only half of the mixture if you would like to have beet hummus on its own. You call the shots here.

Benefits of Adding Beets to Hummus

Beets are a popular root vegetable due to their impressive health standing. They're filled with disease-fighting antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Nitrates (naturally occurring compounds) are highly present in beets, and this high concentration has been shown to lower blood pressure. Dietary nitrates are converted into a molecule called nitric oxide, which naturally dilates blood vessels. Additionally, there is strong evidence suggesting that the high concentration of nitrates in beets can increase athletic performance because of their ability to boost energy production within our cells.

And their health benefits don't end there. Backed by numerous studies, beets have been known to help fight inflammation, aid in weight maintenance, support brain health, and improve digestive health-to name a few.
