Delicious!
This recipe is absolutely amazing! I used a high-speed blender, which made it extra creamy. I decided to boil the beets instead of roasting, so the color was a bit less vibrant, but it still turned out fantastic. The flavors were perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness from the beets. It’s honestly the best hummus I’ve ever had, definitely going to be a regular in my kitchen!
This is my new favourite dish (it’s such pretty pink dip) and it’s so fun and easy to make! I brought this to a potluck and everyone loved it. I couldn’t even take the leftovers home :D
I made a minor modification by adding zaatar and cumin powder. I didn’t have time to roast the beets - I used steamed the beets, but I’ll try the roast version next time. Thank you for this recipe.
I just want to advice everybody to just follow the recipe! I tried to make it with pre cooked beets from the dutch supermarket and the hummus turned out way to watery. Even though I skipped the 60 ml water. So I will try again when I can get my hands on raw beets!
Does anyone know if this is freezable? It’s delicious but I made way too much!
Vibrant is right! I’m not a big beet girl - but tried out this recipe based on the stellar reviews + wow! 🤩🤩 The beets provide a unique taste without being overpowering. Some farmers market pita chips proved to be the perfect pairing! YUM!
Vibrant, beautiful, easy to make, and delicious!
This turns out exactly like photos and it’s very delicious. I received lots compliments from my guests.
Great recipe.
The ‘energy and time conscious’ person in me would rather cut the beetroot in small pieces / cubes and then give it a 10 min steam Vs baking in the oven for 40 mins. It cuts down on the Cooking time immensely and easier on the energy bill pocket :)
Can’t wait to try these recipes! Thank you!
The flavour of the roasted beets is incredible! I saved some and decorated them on top
absolutely delicious! I didn't have any raw beetroot, I used those from a jar, it works very well! ✨
This is one of my favorite recipes on Pick Up Limes, I go to it over and over again. Every time I share the dip with someone they ask for the recipe and everyone always comments about how visually appealing it is as well.
Love the creaminess of the dip, and the beetroot tastes great. I opted for a quicker version and used pre cooked beetroots.
Made it many times and love it!
I've made the recipe with minor changes.
I've added a bit of cumin seeds, some ice cubes, and peanut butter instead of tahini.
It's really yummy. Unfortunately my son tried it (yay) but didn't like it because it "stings".
I think it's the raw garlic. I've made this mistake before :-/
I love this hummus! The colour is so uplifting. I like to take a batch to work so I can snack it there with carrots or breadsticks.
I just used one beet, because I wanted to see how strong their taste would be, and it already gave the hummus that beautiful colour! I wasn't the biggest hummus fan, but homemade just tastes so much better. Thank you for this recipe, I love it! <3
The best
So good! I’ve been making this every week, it’s so nice to have on hand in the fridge for an easy snack or lunch.
I’m hooked!
Delicious and very easy !
This was absolutely delicious. I used canned baby beet roots as I did not have time to roast fresh ones. I also eliminated the Tahini because I did not have it on hand. I eliminated the water because the canned beet roots had a lot of water within the beetroot itself even after they were drained.
Thank you for this healthy and delicious recipe. I then ate it on a whole grain wrap with roasted red pepper, smashed avocado with fresh lemon juice (because I live in Australia), baby spinach and sauteed carrots and a sprinkle of chilli powder for a kick.
Loved this recipe, so easy and truly delicious. It has become a weekly staple in my breakfast. Thanks Sadia 😊
I am not a big fan of beetroot but this hummus is amazing!! I pair really well with celery sticks too!
Made this recipe today. Turned out great, I added in zaatar which gave an extra flavor.
Watched your channel for a couple years now, admiring the beautiful display of colourful foods. Tried this one out and it was great. I only ended up using half the amount of beet, but the colour was still amazing. Thanks :)
I make a batch of this hummus weekly! So tasty, nourishing and easy to make. The beets add a unique flavour that I will never get tired of! Thanks PUL!
This dish is so beautiful and delicious! A nice twist on classic hummus. I'd been wanting to make a beetroot hummus for a while and for some reason was intimidated by working with the beets, but the PUL recipe made each step super approachable and easy. Just wanna add that I was low on garbanzo beans but I had kidney beans on hand and, color-wise, that worked really well, too!
Loved it! The sweet flavor from the beets + garlic flavor (I used more than the recipe called for because I love garlic) was a surprisingly delicious combination! 😍
I wonder if I can try this recipe with store-bought cooked beetroot ? Has anyone tried it ? I would love to be able to speed-it up.
By the way, thanks so much for all your recipes, every time we have a pot luck I make something from this website and my non vegan frieds always love it !
Just made this hummus and was really pleasantly surprised by it's flavour.
This is my GO TO beetroot hummus recipe. I first made the mistake of boiling the beets and it resulted in such a watery hummus that went bad so fast :( but then i followed sadia s instructions to roast them and their sweet earthy flavor was LEGIT. i ve taken this recipe to parties and friends keep requesting it cuz it s that good.
My favorite way to use up the little beets from my garden. So tasty and beautiful!
One of the best hummus recipes I've ever tried. The beets elevate Sadia's base recipe to something that's even more amazing! I also love the jeweled color. I like using this with avocado toast.

This was my second-favorite PUL hummus recipe after the artisan! I love the flavour!
My favourite!
This has become my go-to hummus recipe! My usual way to have it is on toast with avocado and sprouts, it is so gorgeous with the bright hummus. It has a slight earthiness to it, but the beet flavor isn't too pronounced, so if you're not a huge fan of beets I would still recommend it.
One word: wow! Perfect snack option for me as a diabetic, and complements so well with seed crackers. This hummus has been enjoyed in its own right
