    You won't need to spend any time roasting beets in the oven to make this creamy spicy beet hummus recipe that's made with only 7 clean, real food ingredients.

    Gluten-Free Vegan Spicy Jalapeno Beet Hummus

    Most beet hummus recipes are made with "roasted beets", meaning you have to heat the oven and wait before enjoying your hummus.

    In my spicy beet hummus recipe, I used fresh, raw beets and based it off my Classic Hummus recipe.

    You can use this hummus dip in the same way as you would plain hummus.

    For example, I like to spread it on toasted gluten-free bread, in a wrap, with veggies or grain-free crackers.

    You'll love how this healthy recipe is plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, oil-free, no-cook, lectin-free (with substitutions) and Medical Medium compliant.

    How To Make Gluten-Free Vegan Spicy Beet Hummus: Step-By-Step Instructions

    I'm going to show you how easy it is to make this spicy beet hummus recipe in less than 5 minutes with step-by-step instructions below:

    Step 1: Gather The Ingredients

    First, you will need to gather and measure out all your ingredients.

    Step 2: Prep The Veggies

    Second, prep the veggies and cut them into small and manageable pieces. This will help them blend easier in the food processor.

    • Beets - Peel the skins off and cut them into small quartered pieces
    • Jalapeno - Cut the end off and then cut the jalapeno into 2-3 pieces
    • Garlic - Peel the skins off 

    Step 3: Process The Ingredients

    Third, add all ingredients into a food processor and process until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

    • Adjust the water to get the consistency you prefer. Less water (2 tablespoons) for a thicker hummus and more water (4 tablespoons) for a thinner hummus.
    • Take a taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference.

    Step 4: Storage

    Lastly, store your hummus in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

    I like to use either a glass mason jar or these glass storage containers to store mine.

    Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions for Spicy Beet Hummus

    Chickpeas. If you need to this recipe to be lectin-free, you will need to use chickpeas that have been pressured cooked, like these.

    Jalapenos. Depending on how hot your jalapenos are, you may need to add more or less. For example, sometimes I get jalapenos and they have no heat. Sometimes I get them and one is extremely hot. So adjust the jalapenos depending on how hot they are. And don't forget, you will need to omit the jalapenos if you need this recipe to be 100% lectin-free.

    Lemon Juice. Freshly squeezed lemon juice will give you the best flavor and most nutrients. However, you can always substitute with store-bought organic lemon juice.

    Tahini. I love to use homemade tahini but you can always use store-bought organic tahini. Depending on the consistency of the tahini you use, you may need to adjust the water in the recipe.

    Water. Feel free to adjust this amount anywhere from 2-4 tablespoons depending on how thick you like your hummus. For example, use 2 tablespoons for a thicker hummus and 4 tablespoons for a thinner hummus.

    Himalayan Pink Salt. This is the salt of my preference, but you can substitute with sea salt.

    Recipe Notes

    *Lectin-Free: You will need to use chickpeas that have been pressure cooked, like this brand, and will need to omit the jalapeno for this recipe to be 100% lectin-free.
    Jalapeno: Depending on how hot your jalapeno is, you may need to increase or reduce the amount of jalapeno. If you have a really hot jalapeno, use 1/2 - 1 in the recipe. If your jalapeno isn't very hot, use 1 - 2 in the recipe.
    Lemon Juice: Fresh squeezed lemon juice tastes better and retains more nutrients, but you can substitute with store-bought organic lemon juice.
    Tahini: You can use homemade tahini or a store-bought organic tahini and either will work fine.
    Himalayan Pink Salt: This is the salt of my preference, but you can always use sea salt as a substitute.
    Water: Feel free to adjust the amount of water in the recipe depending on the consistency you prefer. Use a little less water (2 tablespoons) if you like a thicker hummus and a little more (4 tablespoons) if you like a thinner hummus.
    Garnish: You can add optional toppings like a drizzle of 100% avocado oil, chopped fresh cilantro, or organic sesame seeds on top before serving.

        Hi there Aleka! Chickpeas need to be pressure cooked to be considered "lectin-free" and the brand I use is "Eden Foods Organic Garbanzo Beans".

        Their product description states: "USA organic family EDEN Garbanzo Beans or chickpeas "Cicer arietinum" are soaked overnight and pressure cooked at Eden's certified organic and kosher cannery with purified water and no chemical additives. The plump, round, golden beans are ideal on salads, and they are the world’s most popular bean. With EDEN Sesame Tahini, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, garlic, and lemon, they make the classic hummus spread or dip. Falafels and curry dishes are common uses, as are soups, stews, casseroles, grain burgers, and croquettes. Since EDEN beans contain no chemical additives, the garbanzo bean cooking water in the can is known as Aquafaba, a remarkable egg replacer for desserts, meringues, marshmallows, and many recipes. No salt added. EDEN beans come in BPA, BPS, and phthalate-free cans since 1999".

        I buy mine at Whole Foods and sometimes at Thrive Market when I'm placing an order with them. I also love them because of the minimal, clean ingredient list and that they come in a BPA-free can.

        Thanks for your question and I hope that helps! 🙂
