Personal Trainer Recipe – Roasted Beet Hummus

roas-beet-humm-1

This hummus has a wonderfully light lemony touch but still has the rich depth of a very satisfying, absolutely delicious dip/spread.

I threw the whole beets (skin on), onto the barbecue on indirect heat for about 45 minutes. The skin then peeled off easily.
