Ingredients

Hummus Ingredients

  • 1 medium-sized beet (roasted or boiled)
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toast and Toppings

  • Bread of choice (sourdough, whole grain, or gluten-free)
  • Optional toppings: microgreens, radishes, sesame seeds, or avocado

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beet: Roast or boil the beet until tender, then let it cool. Peel the skin off and chop the beet into smaller pieces for easier blending.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the chopped beet, chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Process Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add a little water or extra olive oil to reach your preferred consistency.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Sample the hummus and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic according to your taste preferences.
  5. Toast the Bread: While blending the hummus, toast slices of your chosen bread until golden and crispy for the perfect base.
  6. Spread the Hummus: Generously spread the pink beet hummus evenly over each toasted bread slice.
  7. Add Toppings: Garnish the spread toast with optional toppings like fresh microgreens, thinly sliced radishes, sesame seeds, or avocado slices for extra flavor and texture.
  8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Pink Beet Hummus Toast fresh to savor the bright flavors and creamy texture at their best.
