Holiday Rosemary Beet Hummus

This post is not sponsored–it’s just me being super excited to share things with you.

The holidays are getting close. And so far, I’m poorly prepared. No Christmas decorations up, no holidays movies watched, no shopping done. Holiday spirit, where ya at? 

Thankfully, I have already started to think about holiday foods. Mostly because I’m always thinking about food. There is so much baking I want to do, so many wintery vegetables I’m excited to work with. Beets, for example. 

I freaking love beets. I could probably eat them every day, if not for the hassle of actually cooking them, you know? It’s the peeling of them–the red fingers, the stains on my clothes–that dissuade me. But the flavour? Yes, I’m all about that. 

Thankfully this recipe is super easy to prepare: you simply wrap the beets and garlic in aluminum foil and roast them until they’re tender. Then, you combine it with all the other ingredients in the food processor and voila! A vibrant, wintery hummus!

If you’re starting to think about what fun things you’ll be bringing to your work holiday party, or your Friendsgiving dinner, you should definitely make this Holiday Rosemary Beet Hummus! It’s savoury with it’s hint of rosemary, and there’s a bit of sweet earthiness from the beets. Also (mainly), the colour is beautiful. Beets are just always gorgeous. The beets in this recipe aren’t too overpowering, so if beets aren’t your favourite root veggie, you’ll still find yourself wanting to double dip into this beauty. 

And speaking of dipping, I just recently discovered these awesome carrot chips from Hardbite. That’s right, these are carrot chips, not sweet potato chips. And they are delicious. I’m always on the hunt for gluten-free, and usually grain-free crackers, so these bad boys really hit the mark. Plus, they’re lower in carbs, which I like, especially when I’m pairing it with higher carb dip, like hummus.They pair so nicely with the beet hummus, and are thick enough that they don’t break when you try to pile it on–which, of course, I always do. Hardbite also carries sweet potato chips, parsnip chips, beet chips and potato chips! So if you’re looking for a healthy chip or cracker option, I highly recommend them!
