Heart-shaped avocado slices and a gorgeous red hummus make this the perfect snack to show yourself some love. What's more, the chickpeas used to make this colorful toast are a great source of vegetable-based protein.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 6
-
2 serving Raw Red Beet (small)
-
1 Chickpeas (garbanzo beans, bengal gram), mature seeds, canned, drained solids
-
2 tbsp Tahini Sauce
-
1 oz lemon juice
-
1 tsp Sea Salt
-
6 slice Ezekiel
-
3 serving Large Whole Avocado
DIRECTIONS
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Cut the stem off the beet and peel the outer skin with peeler. Wash and dry it with paper towel.
3
Place it in foil pouch and fold foil closed.
4
Bake the beet for 35-40 minutes or until softened.
5
Place the chickpeas in a food processor and process until a stiff paste forms, stopping every few seconds to scrape down the sides of the processor. With the food processor still running, add cooked beets, tahini, juice from half a lemon, and salt. Once that has been incorporated, add ice water if texture is too stiff and process until smooth.
6
Cut three avocados in half and remove skin and pit. Next, thinly slice each avocado half lengthwise and gently fan out the slices. Shape the avocado fans into hearts.
7
Spread each piece of toast with beet hummus and half of a sliced avocado.
