Preparation
- Heat oven to 425°F. Line 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with foil. Place beets in baking dish; drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the honey. Sprinkle with sumac and salt. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with paring knife.
- Reduce oven to 375°F. Line rimmed cookie sheet with foil. In small bowl, mix remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the cumin and coriander. Lightly brush mixture on all sides of each boat. Place boats on cookie sheet. Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until brown and firm to the touch. Boats will crisp as they cool. Remove to cooling rack to cool.
- Spread hummus in boats. Top with arugula and beets. Sprinkle with goat cheese and walnuts.
Expert Tips
- Plain hummus is fine, but feel free to experiment with your favorite type – from garlic to roasted red pepper.
- Not a fan of goat cheese? Feta or blue cheese both work well as substitutes.
- Sumac is a tart spice that adds a lemony flavor to Middle Eastern dishes and spice rubs, such as za’atar. Look for it in gourmet stores or online.
