Ingredients

  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Direction

  1. Roast the Carrots:

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Place the carrot chunks on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
    • Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir once halfway through for even roasting.
  2. Blend the Hummus:

    • Once the carrots are roasted, let them cool slightly.
    • In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the roasted carrots, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
    • Process the ingredients until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  3. Taste and Adjust:

    • Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or cumin if needed.
  4. Serve:

    • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with smoked paprika (optional).
    • Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, crackers, or use as a spread in wraps or sandwiches.
