Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized beets, thoroughly washed and trimmed

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil (plus additional for roasting)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 slices of whole-grain bread

Fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill) for garnish

Optional toppings: sliced radishes, crumbled feta cheese, or sunflower seeds

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Roast the Beets: Take each beet and wrap it individually in aluminum foil. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each beet, sealing them tightly in the foil. Place all the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

      Prepare the Beet Hummus: Once the beets have cooled enough to handle, carefully peel off their skins and chop them into rough pieces. In a food processor, add the chopped beets, drained chickpeas, tahini, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

        Blend Until Smooth: Process all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick for your liking, add one tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches your desired creaminess. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

          Toast the Bread: While the hummus is blending, toast the slices of whole-grain bread until they are golden brown. You can use a toaster or a stovetop griddle for this step.

            Assemble the Toast: Generously spread a layer of the roasted beet hummus over each slice of toasted bread.

              Garnish: Finish off your toast by adding fresh herbs on top. For an extra burst of flavor and texture, consider adding optional toppings such as thinly sliced radishes, crumbled feta cheese, or a sprinkle of sunflower seeds.

                Serve: Enjoy your colorful and nutritious roasted beet hummus toast immediately as a delightful snack or a light meal!
