My family and I love hummus. And that’s the reason I keep experimenting with different variations to the classic one. Not that we don’t like it, but isn’t variety the spice of life, after all? 🙂 So, I here are two of my most favourites – the roasted garlic and turmeric hummus and beetroot hummus. The colours that the turmeric and beet impart, makes the creamy hummus even more appealing. Above all, both these recipes are extremely healthy. The primary ingredient in a hummus is chickpeas, which is nutrient packed. Also known as garbanzo beans, they are rich in proteins and aid digestion, among a lot of other benefits. Hence as yummy the roasted garlic and turmeric hummus and beetroot hummus are, they are equally wholesome.

So healthy

To make the roasted garlic and turmeric hummus, I have used fresh turmeric roots. Again, not only does this look good, it is also loaded with a host of health benefits. And what a delicious way of incorporating some wholesomeness in the diet, right? Coming to the garlic,  I just love its fragrance. And roasting it, brings out it’s sweetness even more. Besides, even garlic is loaded with medicinal properties.

Second is my beetroot hummus. I have used boiled beets along with cooked chickpeas and tahini to make it. While I have cooked/boiled the beans at home, the tahini is store bought. Nonetheless, you could use canned chickpeas too. Both work well for this recipe. And coming to the health properties of beetroots, they are a great source of fibre and also improve blood flow. Therefore everything about these recipes is simply amazing. Moreover, they are a no cook recipe. You just need to assemble all your ingredients and blitz it all up! What could get better?

Garnishing

I have garnished the creamy turmeric hummus with some olive oil, chopped coriander and chili flakes. And there is olive oil and coriander again, along with some sesame seeds on the yummy beetroot hummus. Though these are optional, it does look and taste great.

Serving options

You could serve the roasted garlic & turmeric hummus and beetroot hummus with any kind of breads you like. I know, while pita breads are a more popular choice, there are many more options. For example, I have in my hummus platter here, served it with some wholewheat sourdough bread slices. On the other hand, you could pair it up with some crackers, breadsticks and even baked goodies as a dip!

You can see, I also have some carrots, olives, baked potato wedges, cucumbers, plum tomatoes and broccoli, in my hummus platter. And there are fresh strawberries for dessert too. 🙂

So, now you have a delicious and easy snack recipe, not to mention super healthy too. You can make this for a game night or as appetizers at your next dinner party. Or simply, just make it all for yourself. No matter what the occasion, do try it. You are going to fall for the flavours, the colours and the creaminess, instantly. And this is a crowd pleaser, hands down!

Eat hearty!
