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. While I love traditional red beets, when I find the golden variety I feel special.
Their sweet earthy flavor makes them the perfect salad topper, veggie burger binder, savory soup enhancer, and super creamy dip ingredient.
This Hummus is packed with vitamins and nutrients and will satisfy your most intense snack attacks.
To prepare the beets, simply roast them drizzled in olive oil and wrapped in foil for 45 minutes!
There are so many variations of hummus, each with its own personality and flavor profile, all pretty easy to prepare.
One of my favorites is sweet potato hummus, but I’ve always loved a good classic hummus as well.
Most of our grazing boards also include Hummus of one variety or another!
Roasted Golden Beet Hummus is such a lovely light snack, wonderful for Summer Thyme (pairs nicely with Summer Thyme Sangria too).
