On my quest to convince my family to include more fruit and vegetables into their diet, beetroots were next on my list.
I used roasted beetroot in salads and made a beautiful hummus with it as well.
The vibrant pink color of beetroots is enough to make you want to eat it all.
I used them for my baby’s beetroot and carrot pasta as well.
Beetroots are such a versatile vegetable and can be used in cooking and baking…. Make your next chocolate cake a beetroot flavoured one…I know I will give it a try.
This beetroot hummus is enough to make you want to include Beetroots as a kitchen staple.
