    This homemade Simple Beetroot Dip is super easy to make and is something your kids will even eat! You can use pre roasted beets in this recipe which means you can have this dip ready to go within 10 minutes. This smooth yet tasty dip will have you coming back for more. This fun better for you snack has become a staple in our home when we are hosting guests.

    This Egyptian Beetroot Dip was inspired by my favorite restaurant, Townhall. They have this amazing Beet Hummus that we get every time we go there. My husband who is not a big fan of beets even loves it. This recipe turns beet haters into beet lovers and puts a fun twist on traditional hummus. Beets have so many amazing nutrients in them, this fun dip makes it easy to gets some of those packaged vitamins in! If you love a good dip like I do, check out my Vegan French Onion Dip Recipe or my Vegan Fruit Dip on my blog too!

    Why I Love This Recipe

    • This recipe is easy peasy and has so much flavor. If you use the pre-made beets, it only requires 10 minutes of hands on time.
    • ​My recipe is naturally dairy free, gluten free, soy free, nut free, paleo, and vegan. 
    • You can make this recipe ahead of time for all of your hosting needs. We love to make a big batch of it when we have company. If you love dips like me, you should check out the other snacks on my blog like my Vegan Taco Dip, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Crockpot Gluten Free Mac and Cheese, Air Fryer Potato Skins, and Peanut Butter and Jelly Wings. 
    • This dip pairs well with just about anything. We like pairing it with carrots, Persian cucumbers, gluten free fresh bread, sourdough bread, gluten free pita bread/ pita chips and even tortilla chips.
    • ​You can add greek yogurt to it to add protein to the dip. 

    Simple Ingredients

    Beetroot dip ingredients in glass bowls on a silver tray.
    • Raw beets-I like getting pre-cooked beets and peeled from the grocery store. Beets can make a mess because of their red coloring and they can be hard to peel. Most grocery stores have the beets ready to go in the produce section. You can just buy fresh beetroot at the store and roast them yourself, but again that takes time and sometimes causes a mess. Just note earthy beets tend to be really dirty, so you will want to clean them real good prior to using them. 
    • Garlic cloves-This is a must and really enhances the flavor. Make sure the raw garlic is peeled. 
    • Tahini-This gives this recipe that hummus like flavor but without the chickpeas. 
    • Yogurt-If you are dairy free like me, you can use dairy free yogurt. Some people like greek yogurt for the added protein. 
    • ​Extra virgin olive oil-The liquid helps break down the beets and the oily part of the oil keeps this dip smooth.
    • Fresh lemon juice-For flavor. You may want to save additional lemon juice to sprinkle on top. 
    • Salt-For flavor.

    For the optional garnishes-

    • Garnish options
    • Fresh mint leaves
    • Chile flakes
    • Course sea salt
    • Sesame seeds
    • Red pepper flakes

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • You can also use cream cheese instead of the yogurt in this recipe.

    How To Make This Simple Beetroot Dip

    Photo #1: If you are not using pre-roasted beets, you will need to roast your own. You can roast beets at 400 degrees F for 30 or so minutes depending on how big they are. You will want to toss them in oil and allow them to cool prior to peeling them.

    Recipe Tips and Tricks

    • Tip 1: If you are roasting your own beets at home instead of buying pre-roasted ones, be sure to clean they really good. Beets tend to have a ton of dirt on them since they are a root vegetable.  
    • Tip 2: The vibrant color of this dip is so pretty to look at I like to make it a center piece when I am hosting at the dinner table. We did this all last summer and it was so pretty!
