Open-Faced Roasted Beet Hummus Sandwich

Tanney and I wanted to create a yummy spring appetizer that was light, bright and colorful, so we decided to make Open-Faced Roasted Beet Hummus Sandwiches! We slathered English muffins with a creamy and flavorful roasted beet hummus, and then topped them with fresh avocado and lime zest. Trust me, the combo is delicious.

I’m totally in love with the vibrant pink color and luxurious texture of this roasted beet hummus! Doesn’t it look amazing? Adding ginger and lime zest transformed this hummus from ordinary to out of this world! Just think of it as hummus getting a spring makeover…

Not only does this hummus possess beauty, but it also has brawn. Did you know that Olympic athletes eat beets to improve their athletic performance? Eating beets helps blood vessels relax, which allows oxygen to flow into muscles more easily. Throw in a dose of protein from the chickpeas, and it’s one powerful hummus!

Open-Faced Roasted Beet Hummus Sandwich Notes:

– Feel free to microwave the beets instead of roasting them.
– This would make a fantastic dip for fresh veggies.
