    This Roasted Cauliflower Beef Hummus is a bean-free dip that is as delicious as it is visually beautiful. Intense flavors and intense colors make this the ultimate spring-forward dish.

    If you don't already know, I'm obsessed with beets. Whether it's our Roasted Beet Soup with Fennel, pickled, or paired in an Apple and Beet Galette, beets are a major food group in our home. Not just because of their vast nutritional benefits, but because of their rich and intense color. To us, beautiful food begins with the senses before we taste – the smell, the touch, the visual, combined to truly let you feast with your eyes.

    We swapped chickpeas for cauliflower and amped up the beauty using roasted beets for a vibrant hue for a creamy, rich and thick cauliflower beet hummus.

    A while back we stepped into the Everyday Allergen Free kitchen and created our pretty pink Roasted Cauliflower Beet Hummus. Challenged with a bean-free appetizer to accommodate Amanda's allergies, we swapped chickpeas for cauliflower and amped up the beauty using beets as a vibrant hue for a creamy, rich, and thick cauliflower beet hummus. The perfect Whole30-compliant dish, this bean-free dip cuts the cravings for traditional chips and dip.

    As though the beautiful colors of this spring-forward dish aren't enough, the more we cook and experiment with beets the more we fall in love with it. The earthiness of the beets and cauliflower roasts to a natural sweetness, and after that it's as simple as throwing the remaining ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse away to a zingy yet comforting beet hummus.

    If you’re a fan of vibrant and flavorful dips like this Beet Hummus, you’ll love exploring more options! Try our smoky Red Pepper Dip with Olives for a Mediterranean flair, the tangy Dill Pickle Hummus for a unique twist, or the hearty White Bean Dip that’s perfect for any gathering. Each one is as colorful and delicious as the next!

    Recipe Steps: How to Make Roasted Cauliflower and Beet Hummus

    Step 2. Make the "Hummus"

    Place 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of tahini, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of one lemon, 1 tablespoon of chopped mint, and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a blender. Add cooled vegetables to a blender. Pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve immediately or transfer to a container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    Top with sesame seeds, mint, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with crackers, vegetables, or as a spread on a sandwich.

    Bon appetit,

      Can we freeze this recipe into small snack portions? Wondering if it would change the texture once thawed.

      Thank you

        Hi Chantal,

        We've never tried freezing the hummus but I imagine you could do so for up to one month.
