Happy long weekend, everyone!

So, we survived the first week of school, well, er 2 days! I have to admit on the first day, I was sad and found myself neglecting my work because I was constantly wondering what they were doing and if they were doing ok. Even though my youngest is pretty spunky and outgoing, she can also be a little shy at first and she’s especially sensitive when making new friends. That’s the part I worry about. .  my kids making friends, surrounding themselves with good, kind kids. That’s so important to me.

In celebration of Friday and the first official week of school, I picked up Roasted Beet Hummus. Try this delicious, vibrant twist on one of your favorite foods to snack on! Serve this beet hummus with raw veggies, chips and pita bread. This makes for a great party or appetizer platter.

I love beets so much. I think they are so beautiful. The only thing with red beets. .  they can really stain your hands, fingers, your countertop, etc. so wear plastic gloves and be careful. I always wash everything immediately when it comes to beets.

So, I made this beet hummus and then put together this platter. I absolutely love the vibrant color and the taste. The beet taste is subtle, yet present and so delicious. My husband and oldest daughter who don’t really like beets, loved this hummus!

Big win in my book!

Beets are packed with healthy nutrients, like five essential vitamins (including high in immune-boosting vitamin C), fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, and protein. Beets also have high levels of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents.

My kids love raw veggies like zucchini and bell peppers and recently, we received an entire box of these chips: IMG_7451

I love beans, my husband loves beans and my kids love beans. And it was my kids who fell in love with these chips. They are all made from different kinds of beans and are loaded with fiber and protein and are delicious. I think we literally tried every single flavor. I loved the Sweet Chili and Sour Cream and I’ve been packing the Mac N’ Cheese chips in my kid’s lunch boxes. I’ve seen these at Whole Foods so check them out!

Roasted Beet Hummus

Make-ahead: You can roast the beets a day ahead and store the peeled beets in the refrigerator. I recommend that you make the hummus on the day you are serving it but if you are strapped for time, you can make the hummus a day in advance and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Prep Time25 minutes mins
Cook Time1 hour hr
Total Time1 hour hr 25 minutes mins
Course: Appetizer or Side Dish
Servings: 6 to 8
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

To roast the beets:

  • 2 small red beets
  • foil

For the hummus:

  • 2 small roasted beets
  • 2 15 oz. cans cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • juice of one lime
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt + more if needed
  • 3 to 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoons tahini
  • 1/2 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

To roast the beets:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim the beet leaves close to the tip of the beet, leaving enough to grip. Scrub the beets thoroughly, then wrap them, individually in foil. No need to dry the beets before wrapping.
  • Transfer the wrapped beets to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil and roast for 50 to 60 minutes. The beets are done when a fork or skewer slides easily into the middle of the beet.
  • Let the beets cool enough to handle. Wearing plastic gloves and using your fingers, peel the skin away; this should be very easy to do. If it's not, the beets likely need to cook for a little longer. Slice the beets into chunks.

For the hummus:

  • Using a food processor, place the beets inside and blend until only small bits remain.
  • Add the chickpeas, lime juice, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, garlic, tahini and blend until smooth. While the food processor is running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Let process until all combined.
  • Taste and adjust any seasonings as needed. Remove and place into a serving bowl and garnish with a little basil or parsley if desired (just for looks). Serve with chips, raw veggies and pita bread or flatbread. Enjoy!

 

Disclosure: This is not a paid, sponsored post. I did receive a box of Beanitos Chips and decided to do a post because my family and I loved them so much!

      Hi Debbie, no .. it was fine. . like I said in my post though, I simply wash everything right away. The only part that could stain is the blade and I just rinse that off right away. I hope you try the beet hummus! 🙂

    I’m so glad your girls did okay! Especially your kindergartener, since transitions are always hard. Hard on moms, that is! Sounds like she’s having a great time! And I hear you about kids being kind. I can’t STAND it when my 6 year-old comes home crying about a mean girl. It makes me replay my childhood and I get so sad.
    Anyway…happy is this beet hummus. It’s gorgeous!

    This is the prettiest hummus I’ve ever seen! I am with you on the school thing — my oldest is only in nursery school but she can be shy too and I hope so much that she will find kind people to surround herself with — sometimes they are harder to find than we would hope! I’m so glad to hear things are going well for your girls!
