# Directions:

01 - In a food processor, combine the beet, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
02 - Toast the bread slices to your desired crispness.
03 - Spread a generous layer of beet hummus over each toast slice. Arrange avocado slices on top of the hummus.
04 - Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley and seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The earthy sweetness of beets balances perfectly with creamy avocado and nutty tahini
  • It comes together in twenty minutes but looks like something from a fancy café
  • You can keep the hummus in your fridge for impromptu snacks all week
02 -
  • Beet hummus will stain light colored cutting boards and wooden spoons, so reach for glass or stainless steel when you can
  • The hummus thickens as it sits in the refrigerator, so stir in a teaspoon of water or olive oil before using leftovers
  • Avocado browns quickly, so slice it right before you are ready to serve and squeeze some of that lemon juice directly on top
03 -
  • If your hummus seems too thick, blend in ice cold water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches silky perfection
  • Roast your beet wrapped in foil at 400 degrees for about an hour, then rub off the skin under cold water
  • Toast your seeds in a dry pan for two minutes before sprinkling them on for the most intense flavor
