How to make rice cakes with hummus and roasted tomatoes
Start with cherry tomatoes. Rinse them, cut them in half and throw them into the frying pan or skillet. Add little olive oil and turn the heat on.
Season with salt, pepper and oregano and roast for a few minutes. Once the pan is heated, they are ready in no time so make sure to keep an eye on them. You don’t want to over-cook them.
Then all you have to do to enjoy these rice cakes with hummus is to assemble them together.
Take a rice cake, spread some hummus over and top it with the rest of the ingredients. The order of ingredients doesn’t matter that much. You can start with sprouts, then avocado and them roasted tomatoes.
If you like, you can serve the tomatoes on side and eat them with a fork. I sometimes do this.
Ingredient substitutions
If you would like to enjoy these rice cakes with hummus but don’t want to use cherry tomatoes, try using mushrooms instead.
Dried oregano can be substituted with dried thyme or marjoram.
Hummus – Have you tried making homemade hummus? Green Pea Hummus and Roasted Beet Hummus are delicious.
You can also try making Tahini Free Avocado Hummus.
Alfalfa sprouts – kale sprouts, broccoli sprouts or any other kind of sprouts will work just fine. Use what you like or what is available in your local store.
