Ingredients

  • 1 bunch red beets (1 1/2 lb/625 g), peeled and 1/2-inch diced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (8 count) Old El Paso™ Tortilla Bowls
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 4 cups fresh baby arugula leaves
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

    Heat oven to 425°F. Line 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with foil. Place beets in baking dish; drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the honey. Sprinkle with sumac and salt. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with paring knife.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Plain hummus is fine, but feel free to experiment with your favourite type – from garlic to roasted red pepper.
  • Tip 2
    Not a fan of goat cheese? Feta or blue cheese both work well as substitutes.
  • Tip 3
    Sumac is a tart spice that adds a lemony flavour to Middle Eastern dishes and spice rubs, such as za’atar. Look for it in gourmet stores or online.
