Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 15 ounce can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 3-4 tablespoons tahini
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 ice cubes
  • Water

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Add carrots to a parchment lined baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, and smoked paprika. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • In a food processor, add the roasted carrots and the rest of the ingredients.
  • Process until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, adding water as needed. You will need to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor occasionally.
  • Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more lemon juice, spice(s), garlic, etc.
  • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ice cubes make for light, creamy, and fluffy hummus! But only add if using a high-powered blender or food processor.
  • It is easy to adjust taste and spice level to your liking. Add more lemon juice, fresh garlic or garlic powder, or other seasonings that you like.
