Root vegetable pita pockets with hummus
- 400 gr Roasted Root vegetables
- 100 gr baby Spinach leaves
- 12 tbsp Hummus (See recipe below)
- 3 tsp Olive oil
- 6 whole meal pita pockets, if pockets are small, you might need two per person
Tips/Notes
Tips/NotesThe humus has vegetable proteins so this sandwich is very healthy and is high in calories.
PREPARACIÓN
1. Warm the pitta bread in the toaster if you are going to eat them straight away, spread a couple of spoonfuls of hummus on each pitta and drizzle a 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil over it. Add a handful of spinach leaves and the root vegetables chopped into smallish pieces. Close the pitta and enjoy!!
2. Hummus contains vegetable protein so this is a healthy sandwich that will keep you going longer. This pitta pockets work very well as a packed lunch.
3. For babies, you can mash the vegetable and add some full-fat, follow-on on breast milk to make them into a puree and cut think strips of pitta bread for them to dip into the vegetables and hummus.
4. Note that shop-bought hummus has added salt and sometimes preservatives which you should avoid feeding your baby.
5. Try to buy an organic or preservative free version made with olive oil rather than a vegetable oil.

VARIANTS
Try other sled leaves like rocket or lambs lettuce.
Serve with extra hummus on the side for dipping as you eat.
This filling is pretty good with toasted ciabatta but you lose the goodness of wholemeal bread.
