Ingredients:

Beetroot Hummus:

4 beetroots (approx 450g)
5 garlic cloves
1 tsp rapeseed oil
juice of a lemon
2 tbsp water
100g Tamari Mega Omega 7 seed mix
salt & pepper to taste

To serve:

  • Toasted Sesame Sprinkles
  • 1/2 an avocado (per person)
  • Some cold, steamed broccoli stems
  • A handful of toasted cashew nuts
  • Some grated, or spiralised, fresh carrot
  • A drizzle of rapeseed oil

Method:

Set the oven to 180C and roast the beetroot (with skins on) for 40 minutes on a greased baking sheet. For the final 15 minutes add in the skin-on garlic cloves to roast too. Allow to cool then peel the beetroot and the garlic. Blend with the remaining ingredients until smooth and season to taste.

To serve, spread a portion of the hummus on your plate then garnish with slices of avocado, grated carrot, steamed broccoli and a sprinkle of toasted cashew nuts with our Toasted Sesame Sprinkles to give the dish that extra frisson of umami.
