Just how beautiful does this vibrant, fresh beetroot hummus look? Isn't it just the prettiest shade of pink?
This Roasted Beetroot Hummus is the perfect dip or side to brighten up a dreary day. Plus, it's just so creamy and...well...addictive!
The delicious beetroots add a subtle sweetness, giving the classic hummus - the perfect accompaniment to crackers, breads and veggies - a wonderful twist.
If you really don't have the patience to roast your beetroot, then don't worry, you can do this a little quicker! Simply buy ready-cooked beetroot and add that, instead. It won't have quite so much flavour, but it will be delicious all the same.
Enjoy,
