Notes
Store any leftover beet hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 4 to 5 days. If it thickens in the fridge, just stir in a little water or olive oil to bring it back to your preferred consistency. Roasting the beet enhances its natural sweetness; adjust garlic amount based on taste preference. For a creamier texture, blend longer.
