The gateway into my hummus obsession was the mediocre store bought stuff with bland flavoring (hey there, “roasted garlic”) which I would consumed by the tub in college as a meal along with some warmed up pita bread. The actual amount I consumed in those 4 years in obscenely too much and my over indulgent lead to the point where, even to this day, I can’t help but wince when smelling a certain brand I frequented during those coming-of-age years.

Thankfully, I do not get sick at the thought of homemade hummus and have moved on to making all sorts of fun flavor combinations to keep my taste buds from getting bored. Hummus has been a weekly staple in our house for years and I like to whip up a batch on Sunday afternoons when I am meal prepping. It’s the perfect spread for sandwiches, veggie snacking, and enjoying by the spoon.

While meal prepping the other weekend, I had some extra roasted beets on hand (from a batch of roasted veggies that would soon become taco filling) and decided to throw one into my hummus. And thus, the most beautiful hummus I’ve ever crafted was created. Maybe I’m a little biased because I like my food to look pretty but I’m obsessed with this flavor. The subtle hazelnut and rosemary only adds to the cozy fall flavor.

Make sure to chop the rosemary very fine to avoid getting a big bite full of the tough herb. Also, use only a tiny bit of hazelnut oil as it’s very strong and the flavor can become overwhelming very quickly – I like to drizzle just a little bit into the already drizzles olive oil. This dip is a great snack with simple crackers and also brings a whole new level to big spreads (like the cheeseboard in the photo).
