Ingredients

Roasted Carrots

  • 1 large carrot ½ inch slices
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Hummus

  • 1 ½ cups chickpeas cooked or 1 can
  • ½ cup tahini paste
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 inch ginger root grated
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • Za’atar
  • Sesame seeds
  • Grated carrots

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Toss carrot and garlic with olive oil. Lay on a baking sheet pan in a single layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until carrots are tender. Remove and cool slightly.
  • Add roasted carrots and garlic, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, cumin, cayenne, lemon juice, and ginger to a food processor. Process/blend until mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Add water if needed to reach desired consistency. If using a blender you may need more water or oil to blend.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and adjust any of the flavorings, cumin, lemon juice or cayenne to your tastes.

Notes

  • Let the carrots cook until caramelized for the best sweet, rich taste.
  • Add water or olive oil slowly until it’s as thick or thin as you like.
  • Stop and scrape down the food processor so everything blends smoothly.
  • Play with the seasonings—more cumin, cayenne, salt, or lemon juice until it’s just right for you.
