Roasted Beet Hummus

I love making my own hummus at home because I can make a different flavor every time!  One of my favorites is a roasted beet hummus.  I roast the beet until it is tender then blend it up with classic hummus ingredients and it is delicious!  This is healthy too and the perfect thing to enjoy with veggies or crackers for dipping or spread on your sandwich!
