Why You Will Love This Recipe

Readers often ask for healthier cannabis recipes. Many people picture edibles as sweet treats, but you can infuse nearly any savory dish. With a few pantry staples, this vibrant beet hummus is an easy way to enjoy an infused snack that’s plant-based and satisfying.

Whether you follow a plant-based diet or want a better option to manage the munchies, this hummus is versatile and approachable. Below I cover ingredient needs, step-by-step instructions, storage tips, and multiple infusion methods so you can pick what works best for you.

What You’ll Need

• 3 whole garlic cloves (or 1 tablespoon minced)
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, packed (stems removed) — you can substitute fresh cannabis fan leaves if available
• ¼ cup Bliss MCT oil — each 1 mL contains 2.5 mg THC and 2.5 mg CBD; ¼ cup ≈ 59 mL. Use the amount that matches your target dose.
• ¼ cup lemon juice — fresh preferred
• 14-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
• 8-ounce can cooked beets, drained (avoid pickled unless you want extra tang)
• ¼ cup tahini
• Salt and pepper to taste

Alternate Infusion Options

There are several reliable ways to infuse this hummus. Below are practical options so you can choose the one that matches your supplies and preferred potency.

Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil

Cannabis-infused olive oil blends smoothly into hummus and adds a familiar savory note. Prepare a batch of infused olive oil ahead of time and use it in place of the Bliss MCT oil. Extra-virgin olive oil works nicely for flavor.

Raw Cannabis Leaves

If you have fresh fan leaves, use them in the gremolata portion (replace part of the parsley). Fan leaves typically contain low levels of active cannabinoids but do provide raw cannabinoid acids (THCA, CBDA), terpenes, and nutrients. Wash well and trim stems before processing; try about 1/4 cup raw leaves combined with 1/4 cup parsley.

Decarbed Cannabis Flower

To get activated THC or CBD, the flower must be decarboxylated. That converts cannabinoid acids into their active forms. A common approach is baking dried cannabis at 240°F for around 40 minutes for THC-dominant flower; longer times (around 90 minutes) are often recommended for CBD-dominant material. Once decarbed and ground, start with a small amount—about 1 teaspoon—and adjust to your tolerance.

Decarbed Kief

Kief is concentrated and potent. It should also be decarbed before use. Because it’s stronger than flower, begin with a small quantity (for example, 1 gram or less of decarbed kief) and adjust based on your desired effect.

Leftover Cannabis Pulp

Leftover cooked cannabis material from oil or butter infusions still contains nutrients and trace cannabinoids. If you enjoy the taste, you can grind the spent pulp finely and add a small amount—start with 2 teaspoons—to the hummus to experiment with flavor and mild infusion effects.

Cannabis Concentrates

Concentrates and distillates are convenient: a small amount provides predictable potency without changing texture or volume. Add a few drops of FECO or a tiny amount of distillate to the hummus during blending, then taste and adjust carefully to reach your target dose.

Customize Your Hummus

Homemade hummus is forgiving and adaptable. Use any sturdy food processor, swap beans (cannellini, navy, or pinto work fine), or adjust lemon, garlic, and tahini to your taste. Serve as a dip with vegetables, as a spread for sandwiches, or as a flavorful addition to bowls and wraps.
