    This bright and creamy Roasted Beet Hummus has an earthy taste, stunning color, and is perfect for serving with veggies or crackers. 

    Just like Instant Pot Hummus, this recipe for Beet Hummus can be prepared in the Instant Pot with dried chickpeas or made in a food processor with canned chickpeas, for a simple, healthy snack.

    I fell in love with Beet Hummus after a recent dinner out at a Mediterranean Restaurant.

    Roasted Beets add an earthy, somewhat citrus note to traditional hummus, along with a bit of sweetness. It is perfect for scooping up with pita chips or vegetables, but Beet Hummus is also great as a sandwich spread. Not to mention Beet Hummus has the most impressive bright pink color--I mean this hummus is not only flavorful, but it is also absolutely stunning.

    How To Make Beet Hummus

    You can prepare this hummus recipe using dried chickpeas or canned chickpeas. I personally prefer preparing with dried chickpeas that cook in the Instant Pot because the chickpeas get super, super soft, and create the most creamy hummus.

    Step One: Roast Beets

    The first step to making beet hummus is to roast the beets. Roasting the beets brings out the natural sugars in the beets. It is an extra step, but my goodness is it worth the effort.

    Step Two: Prepare Chickpeas

    If you are using the Instant Pot to prepare dried chickpeas, cook the chickpeas while the beets roast in the oven. If you are using canned beans, drain, and rinse well.

    Step Three: Process Hummus

    Place the ingredients for the hummus into a food processor and process until smooth. Add water as needed to get the texture of the hummus to the consistency you desire.

    Step Four: Serve

    Serve up with pita chips and vegetable slices and marvel at that natural bright pink color you achieved in this Easy Beet Hummus.

    Storage Instructions

    Beet Hummus can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 6 months. Be sure to defrost in the fridge overnight, not in the microwave, as that may change the consistency of the hummus.

    Ingredients

    • 2 large beets peeled and quartered
    • 2 cups cooked chickpeas see directions for cooking dried chickpeas
    • 2 tablespoons tahini

    Instructions

    Directions for Cooking Dried Chickpeas

    • Place 1 cup dried chickpeas and 3 cups of water in the inner pot of the instant pot. Place lid on the pressure cooker and turn vent knob to "sealing." Set to cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Let pressure release naturally, then strain off chickpeas, reserving cooking liquid.

    Beet Hummus

    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat beets lightly with oil with olive oil and wrap beets in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven until cooked through approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
    • Place chickpeas, roasted beets, lemon juice, salt, tahini in a food processor that has been fitted with an s-blade. Process until nearly smooth.
    • Remove the food pusher on the lid of the food processor, and pour in olive oil while the food processor is running. Add in water or reserved cooking liquid from chickpeas, to get the hummus smooth and creamy as desired.

    Equipment Needed

    • Electric Pressure Cooker (6 or 8 quart)

    Notes

    Storage: Store the hummus in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in your freezer for up to 6 months. But be sure to defrost in the fridge overnight, not in the microwave, as that may change the consistency of the hummus.

      I just found your site; it looks to be wonderful!
      Just bought an Insta-Pot and have not even tried it yet, kinda anxious to do so.
      My question; do you have any recipes/instructions for baking bread, etc. in the pot?
      I am a senior citizen on low-fixed income living (by myself - mostly) in the basement of my daughter's home and I have very limited 'kitchen' space so the more things I can do with one appliance works well for me.
      Thank you so much.

        I am so happy you found my site Mary and I hope I can help you find budget friendly Instant Pot recipes! As for bread, I do not recommend baking bread in the Instant Pot. You can proof it on the yogurt setting, but you will never get the right consistency when baking.

      OH MY GOSH this is so amazing. My husband and I got beets on a whim in our Imperfect Produce order, and I had no idea what to actually do with them once I got them. I found this and thought "eh, it's easy enough!" and WHOA I wasn't expecting it to actually be so easy and delicious! This is going in my regular rotation for sure!
