Ingredients

  • 1 small sweet potato
  • 2 small beets
  • 1 540 ml can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Fresh basil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and wrap the beets individually in tin foil.
  • Place the beets on a baking sheet and cook for 45-50 minutes or until tender.
  • Once cooked through, allow the beets to cool for 10 minutes and then unwrap from tin foil and peel off the skins.
  • In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, water, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt on low speed. Puree until everything is well incorporated.
  • Chop the beets into chunks and add to the food processor. Mix on low speed until the beautiful pink colour is evenly throughout the hummus.
  • Slice the sweet potato in 1/4 inch-thick rounds and place in the toaster. Toast for 5-7 minutes or until they begin to crisp and brown.
  • To assemble, spread an even layer of hummus on the toasted sweet potato round, top with a small leaf of fresh basil and enjoy!
