Notes

To make beetroot hummus, you need to use cooked chickpeas and beets. You can cook chickpeas yourself or buy them pre-cooked in a can.

The same goes for the beets. You can buy fresh and pre-cooked & vacuum-packed beets in the grocery store.

If you choose to make beetroot hummus with fresh beets, you can either boil or roast the beets. I personally like to roast them in the oven.

To roast beets in the oven, you need to cut off the top and scrub them clean. You do not need to peel the beets before roasting them in the oven.

Wrap the beets in foil and place them on a tray and bake in the oven at 190°C (375°F) until soft. It takes quite a long time to cook them in the oven, about 1 hour or longer depending on how big they are.

After they have been baked in the oven and softened, let the beets cool. Then remove the peel and cut into pieces.
