This delicious and vibrantly colored beet dip will be an instant hit with beet lovers and haters! This beet recipe is truly the best dip ever!

If you think you don’t like beets, you haven’t had them like this! The vibrant color alone makes you want dive in with a delicious piece of toasted pita.

I know I don’t share a lot of savory recipes, but I’m going to start sharing some of my favorite party recipes that are great for entertaining! This dip is made with roasted beets, yogurt, olive oil and lots of garlic.

It’s topped with hazelnuts, feta, and some green onions. The lively shade of dark pink color will entice the worst of the worst beet haters!

I think I’m going to serve this as an appetizer for Thanksgiving.

How To Make Beet Dip – Step By Step

  1. Put the beets in a small baking pan with a small amount of water.
  2. Roast in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
  3. Peel and cut in half.
  4. Add beets, garlic, yogurt, olive oil and chili powder in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
  5. Garnish with feta, hazelnuts, shallots and green onions.

A Healthy Dip

Beets are an awesome food, not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Beets are low in calories, yet high in valuable vitamins and minerals. In fact, they contain a bit of almost all the vitamins and minerals that you need!

The Perfect Party Dip

We all know that dips can divide a party, with one or two dips left on the sidelines, untouched! This beet dip will please most people, from the health conscious, to the beet haters!

It’s alluring rich pink color and smooth tangy taste is just the ticket, for even the fussiest of dippers!

The Tastiest Topping

Beets earthy flavor makes them a perfect companion for loads of toppings. I’ve gone for feta, hazelnuts and a sprinkle of green onions.

The complimentary flavor of feta, allows the dip to hit so many flavors, while the crunch and fat surrounding the hazelnuts perfectly compliments the sweetness of the beets. It really does beet the rest!

Top Tips For Beet Dip

  • Make sure you have enough food for you guests to dip! Cucumber spears, pita, radishes, green bean and of course chips – are all great options.
  • Stay away from flavored chips which can compete with flavors in the beet dip.
  • Figure roughly quarter cup of dip person, but remember appetites can vary greatly!
  • Remember to use a container that can keep the dip cool. Why not hollow out a loaf of bread, freeze it and then pop the dip in!

    do you blend when beets are hot. Do you serve this hot or cold?

      By the time you peel, blend and garnish the dip is slightly warm. You can actually serve this warm or cold. Also, you blend them after they’ve cooked and when they’re hot. Hope that helps 🙂

    So would you use pita bread to dip into the beet mix or tortilla chips? What would you use? You don’t mention this.

      It’s really your preference! Pita bread is delicious, but chips could be good as well 🙂

    How many days in advance can this be made? Will it freeze?

      We didn’t try freezing it, but you can make it the day before and it will last a few days.
