  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sweet Potato Toast:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Beet Hummus:

  • 1 cup cooked beets, peeled and chopped
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Toppings:

  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or mint) for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potato Toast

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes and slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  3. Season Sweet Potatoes: Place the slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Roast: Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potato slices are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 2: Make the Beet Hummus

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel and chop the cooked beets. Rinse and drain the chickpeas.
  2. Blend: In a food processor, combine the beets, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Blend until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 3: Assemble the Toast

  1. Spread Hummus: Once the sweet potato slices are roasted and slightly cooled, spread a generous layer of beet hummus over each slice.
  2. Add Burrata: Tear the burrata cheese into small pieces and gently place them on top of the hummus.
  3. Garnish: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the burrata for a pop of color and flavor. Add fresh herbs like parsley or mint for an aromatic finishing touch.
