Adding beets to hummus brightens both the flavor and color of this Mediterranean staple (not to mention packs a nutritional punch). Garlicky, tangy, and full of spice, this healthy spread goes perfectly with pita chips or veggies.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

Ingredients
- 2-3 (400g) medium beets, peeled and cut into medium-sized chunks
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup (80g) canned chickpeas, strained
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Add the beets, garlic, and olive oil to the Anyday dish and mix to combine. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave for 12 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Allow the beets to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a blender or food processor. Blend the beets with all the remaining ingredients until it becomes a smooth paste. If it’s too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time to thin it out.
- Put the mixture back into the Anyday dish, drizzle with some more olive oil, and serve!
Suggestions
- Try white beans or lentils in place of chickpeas.
- Garnish with crumbled feta and chopped parsley for some extra oomph.
- Try it with some cottage cheese for extra texture
- Use it to season cooked rice, grains, or even pasta.
Recipe Notes
- Yellow beets can be used as a fun color alternative.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
