Roasted Golden Beet Hummus
I’m now putting Roasted Golden Beet Hummus in my rotation! It is absolutely delicious as a dip, but wait until you try it as a sandwich spread!! Oh my! Roasted Beets are such a treat for me.

Crispy Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
Crispy Parmesan Roasted Broccoli. Move over cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, broccoli is making a comeback in this house! Oven roasted, crispy-edged, parmesan-crusted, lemon-zested broccoli is THE best!! You can serve it as an appetizer (hello…roasted Brussels sprouts are on nearly every appetizer menu). You should definitely make it your go-to side dish. And Crispy Roasted Broccoli is more than happy stealing the show for any vegetarian meal!
