Author Notes: This red vegetable spread is a great way to bring vegetables into breakfast as a sweet rather than savory accompaniment. This vegetable spread was inspired by Maija Garcia of Organic Magnetics, a lovely lady I sat next to on a bus during a recent trip to the East Coast of the USA. —sabrina
