Instructions
Creating Beet Hummus and Avocado Toast is straightforward. To guide you through the process, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Beets: If you are roasting, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in foil and roast them for about 45 minutes, or until soft. If boiling, simmer them until tender.
2. Make the Hummus: Once beets are cooked and cooled, peel their skins off. In a food processor, combine the beets, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blitz until smooth, adding water if necessary to achieve a creamy consistency.
3. Toast the Bread: While hummus is processing, toast the slices of whole-grain bread until golden and crispy.
4. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash it lightly with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor.
5. Assemble the Toast: Spread generous amounts of beet hummus over the toasted bread, followed by the mashed avocado.
6. Add Toppings: Finish with your favorite toppings, such as crumbled feta, pumpkin seeds, or microgreens for added texture and taste.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Beet Hummus and Avocado Toast while fresh!
