Roasted Carrot & Hummus Open Sandwich

This is a warm, open-faced sandwich. Roasted carrot batons, piled onto sourdough spread with good hummus, finished with a handful of rocket. It's sweet, savoury, and satisfying.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 2 carrots, cut into batons
• 1 tsp olive oil
• ½ tsp cumin
• Salt
• 1 thick slice of sourdough bread
• 3 tbsp hummus
• A handful of rocket

Method:

• Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Toss the carrots with olive oil, cumin, and salt. Roast for 20–25 minutes until tender.
• Toast the sourdough. Spread generously with hummus.
• Pile the warm carrots onto the hummus. Top with rocket.
• Eat immediately.

Why it's gut-friendly: Carrots are rich in soluble fibre. Hummus (chickpeas and tahini) is a prebiotic powerhouse. Sourdough is fermented and easier to digest.
