Roasted Beet Sandwiches with Garlic Herb Spread

These roasted beet sandwiches are the ultimate new year lunch, in my opinion. They’re piled high with nutrition for all of our resolutions, but still have the comforting flavors of winter.

This roasted beet sandwiches recipe with photo was shared with us by Sabra Hummus, but was originally created by The Grateful Grazer.

I love the way these roasted beet sandwiches are made burger-style with buns, but you can also enjoy them on sliced bread. If you’re hooked on the idea of buns, there are several great dairy-free brands to choose from. One of my favorites is Rudi’s Organic. At last check, they ran a dairy-free facility, and offered several bun varieties, including gluten-free. For easy homemade buns, try my Speedy Wheat Buns or Skinny Gluten-Free Hamburger Buns.

Ingredients

Roasted Beets

• 3 beets, peeled and sliced in thin rounds (about 1½ cups)
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Garlic Herb Spread

• ¼ cup garlic hummus (like Sabra Roasted Garlic Hummus)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Sandwiches

• 2 whole grain rolls (gluten-free, if needed)
• ½ apple, sliced in thin rounds
• ½ cup micro greens

Instructions

Roasted Beets

1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a mixing bowl, toss the beets with the sesame oil and tarragon, and season with a moderate amount of salt and pepper. Spread the beet slices out on your prepared baking sheet.
3. Roast the beets until tender and browned in areas, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Garlic Tarragon Spread

1. Using the same mixing bowl you used to make the beets, prepare the spread. Stir the hummus and tarragon together, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Cover the bowl and store in the refrigerator until the beets are ready.
3. Let the beets cool for 10 minutes before assembling the sandwiches.

Sandwiches

1. Slice the rolls in half and spread the garlic herb spread on the inside of each roll.
2. Top the bottom half of each roll with beets, apple slices, micro greens and red onion. Top with the remaining half of bun.
