Beetroot is rich in nitric oxide, which is associated with improved cognitive function through enhancing blood flow to the brain, benefiting memory and mental clarity, in addition to being a potent cardiovascular tonic that can help dilate blood vessels, improve blood flow, and lower blood pressure.
Ingredients:
For the Honey Smashed Potatoes:
500g chat potatoes
2 tablespoons Embodybee Immortality Nectar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons tamari
For the Beetroot Hummus:
2 medium-sized beetroots, cooked and peeled
400g chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Preheat your oven to 200c.
Wash the potatoes and place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the beetroot hummus. In a food processor, combine the cooked and peeled beetroots, chickpeas, minced garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, extra virgin olive oil, tamari and honey for the potato drizzle.
Place the cooked and slightly cooled potatoes on a baking tray. Use the bottom of a glass or a fork to gently smash each potato.
Drizzle the honey-tamari-olive oil mixture over the smashed potatoes.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Once the potatoes are crispy and cooked to your liking, remove them from the oven.
To serve, spread a generous portion of beetroot hummus on a plate and top with the honey smashed potatoes.
Enjoy!
