Beet Hummus

Beet Hummus

Adding beets to hummus brightens both the flavor and color of this Mediterranean staple (not to mention packs a nutritional punch). Garlicky, tangy, and full of spice, this healthy spread goes perfectly with pita chips or veggies.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 (400g) medium beets, peeled and cut into medium-sized chunks
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup (80g) canned chickpeas, strained
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin 
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Add the beets, garlic, and olive oil into the Anyday dish and mix to combine. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
  2. Cook in the microwave for 10 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Allow the beets to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a blender or food processor. Blend the beets with all the remaining ingredients until it becomes a smooth paste. If it’s too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time to thin it out.
  4. Put the mixture back into the Anyday dish, drizzle with some more olive oil, and serve!

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Try white beans or lentils in place of chickpeas.
  • Garnish with crumbled feta and chopped parsley for some extra oomph.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
