How to Prepare Creamy Chipotle Beet Hummus [Vegan, Grain-Free]

  1. Place the chickpeas into a bowl and cover with double their volume of cold water. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda to the chickpeas. Soak the chickpeas overnight, at least 12 hours. The next day, drain and rinse.
  2. Place the soaked chickpeas and remaining 1/2 teaspoon baking soda in a medium saucepan and cover with double their volume of cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low (very gently) for 30-45 minutes, or until soft and easy to mush. Spoon off foam during cooking. Add more water during cooking if necessary to keep them immersed. Strain chickpeas when done.
  3. Transfer the warm chickpeas to a food processor and add the beets, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, and chipotle powder. Process for 1-2 minutes, or until totally smooth. You want the mixture to be very soft and smooth. Taste and add more salt if you like. Keep warm.
  4. To serve, place some of the warm hummus on a plate, and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt, sesame seeds, and fresh parsley if desired.
