Roasted Beet and White Bean Hummus
For this quick hummus, I used beets that I roasted in a slow cooker, but you could use store-bought steamed beets if you don’t feel like roasting or steaming the beets yourself. Made like a traditional hummus, with beans, garlic, and tahini, this bright spread is sweeter than the regular type, thanks to the addition of beets. A dose of freshly ground pepper adds a welcome bite.
