We are in love with vibrant pink color of this roasted beet hummus.  Beetroots adds slight sweet earthy flavors to the hummus with a burst of electric pink color, I’ve always been taken with the color! It’s excellent dip with raw veggies, chips, pita bread.
Adding roasted veggies likes carrots, beets or red peppers to hummus enhances the flavor and taste of hummus by ten folds.
How To Make Creamy Roasted Beet Hummus?
This beet hummus recipe is very simple and easy to make if you have roasted beetroots already. Roasting beetroot is the only time consuming prep, which I recommend you to do ahead and keep ready while whipping up hummus.
There is a subtle earthy flavored sweetness from the roasted beetroots and the creaminess from chickpeas, olive oil makes it great for scooping with vegetables, smearing over a toast, or to drizzle over your burger patties.
Roasted beets along with cooked chickpeas, garlic, pepper powder, lime juice, salt, tahini paste, basil leaves, olive oil and water(a little), blend them into hummus paste and serve.

Hi, could I use canned beets since this is what I have in hand?

Sorry, can’t say for sure. Haven’t tried it. But I guess you should be able to use it. Drain it out completely so the hummus doesn’t turn runny
