# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The colors alone will make you want to Instagram your breakfast before taking a single bite
  • You get that fancy toast shop experience for a fraction of the cost, plus you control exactly what goes on top
02 -
  • The hummus keeps for days, so I often make a double batch and use it for wraps and crackers all week
  • Your hands will absolutely look like you committed a crime, but lemon juice scrubs the pink stain right off
03 -
  • Roasting your beet wrapped in foil concentrates the sweetness better than boiling, which can make the final flavor watery
  • Reserving a few chickpeas to fold in at the end adds texture variation that keeps each bite interesting
