If you’re uncertain about beets, this hummus is a great way to try them. It’s a 5-Minute Blender Beet Hummus that combines the earthiness of beets with hearty chickpeas, nutty tahini, and fresh lemon and garlic.

This is a fun take on my Best 5-Minute Blender Hummus and I love using it for a vegetarian meal.

Ingredients in 5-Minute Blender Beet Hummus

Aside from the beets, these ingredients are all classic hummus components! I used prepackaged steamed beets to make this dish as simple as possible. It comes together quickly in the blender!

Chickpeas – Drain and rinse your chickpeas before using them in hummus.
Steamed beets – Keep it simple; use an 8-oz package of already cooked beets to make this Blender Beet Hummus in just a few minutes.
Tahini – Tahini is a Middle Eastern condiment made from sesame seeds. A new jar of runny tahini blends into hummus really well.
Lemon – I used just half of a fresh lemon juiced. A bit of acidity makes all of the other flavors in this Beet Hummus just a bit brighter!
Garlic – Like with the lemon, I used a small amount (just one small clove or half a big clove), which is a good start since you can add more later if you want a stronger garlic flavor.
Salt – Just a pinch!
Ice water – This might seem unexpected, but ice water makes for the smoothest homemade hummus.
Garnishes – A drizzle of olive oil or fresh parsley as a garnish makes the finished Blender Beet Hummus look festive and delicious.

Did you know that chickpeas and garbanzo beans are exactly the same thing? It’s true! They’re affordable and easy to store, making them a pantry staple that I always have in my kitchen. Grab a can ASAP and whip up a quick batch of this easy, flavorful hummus.
