Ingredients & Substitutions
Beetroot is not only vibrant but also packed with nutrients. If you can't find cooked beetroot, roasting your own is simple—just wrap it in foil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 45-60 minutes until fork-tender. And if you want a nut-free version, you can skip the tahini or replace it with sunflower seed vegan butter!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my beetroot hummus in a glass jar - it stays fresh for about 5 days in the fridge.
- •If you want a little kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I like to add a tablespoon of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
- •You could also mix in some avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just give it a good stir before serving again!
Frequently Asked Questions

Besides toasts, it’s fantastic with veggie sticks, pita chips, or even spread on wraps!
