I know there have been a few recipes recently involving beets, but why not? The are versatile, healthy and flippin' yum yum!
Love love love this recipe. So perfect for a light snack. Or perfect for a little get together "starter". It is an easy finger food and conversation starter, Gorgeously bright, almost that of the color of a pomegranate. Creamy and lip smacking! Everyone is going to want this recipe.....seriously.
Roasted Beet Hummus
It has the subtly of a traditional hummus, but by adding in the beets, you also have that slightly sweet earthiness to it. So good I want to package it and sell it to the local mart.
You can thank me later if you don't believe me :)
Serve with veggies or easy pita bread.
