Roasted Carrot Hummus

Roast the Carrots

Top Tips

Roast to Perfection – the key to deep, caramelized flavor is roasting the carrots until they’re golden and tender. Don’t rush this step! Those slightly crisp edges add so much depth to the hummus.

Smooth and Creamy – for the silkiest texture, blend the hummus for longer than you think. If it’s too thick, add a little warm water or extra olive oil until it reaches your desired consistency.

1can chickpeas drained and rinsed

1pound/ 400 gm carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

2garlic cloves minced

¼ cup tahini

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop 3-4 medium carrots into chunks. Toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until soft and slightly caramelized. 

In a food processor, combine chickpeas, roasted carrots, garlic, tahini, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, and smoked paprika. Process until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.

Transfer carrot hummus to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika before serving.
