Can I make hummus with raw beets?

You need a super quick snack using beets and chickpeas but you don’t even feel like roasting beets? Go ahead, throw one small peeled beet in your food processor along with the other hummus ingredients. Your hummus will still taste amazing with one small raw beet. You might need to increase the amount of wet ingredients then. Otherwise your food processor will probably have difficulty blending it. One tablespoon olive oil or tahini at a time until you have the desired consistency. With one small raw beet, it’s hard to notice the flavor. If you add a large one, your hummus will have a slightly earthy flavor.

Is beetroot hummus vegan?

Yep. It’s not only vegan but also gluten-free. It is very filling and very rich in proteins, fiber and vitamins thanks to the chickpeas and beets inside. Tahini in beetroot hummus gives you a good amount of energy, as well. However, if you want it with less calories, you can always try beetroot hummus recipe without tahini. Have a quick look at our Hummus Without Tahini , which is equally healthy and delicious.
