Ingredients
For the roasted carrots
- 3/4 lb (340g) carrots, chopped in 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp cumin
- 3/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
For the hummus
- 14-15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1-2 tbsp water
Garnishes
- 1-2 tbsp fresh minced dill
- 3-4 tbsp slivered or chopped almonds, toasted
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the carrot pieces on the parchment lined baking tray and toss with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Spread the carrots out on the pan in an even layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the carrots are starting to caramelize and are very tender (you should be able to crush them easily with a fork). Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- To make the hummus transfer carrot mixture along with their juices/oil from the baking sheet to a food processor along with the chickpeas, garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, tahini, 1 tsp salt, lemon juice, 1 tbsp water and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor several times. If needed, add more water, 1 tbsp at a time to get your desired texture. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and/or lemon juice as desired.
- Spread the hummus on a plate or in a low bowl and top with crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill and slivered/chopped almonds. Add an extra drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
- Enjoy with pita chips or fresh pita bread, crackers, tortilla chips or a variety of fresh vegetables!
Notes
- Make the dip ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Before serving, give the hummus a stir and then top with garnishes as per the recipe.
- If you don't have fresh garlic, use 1/4 tsp garlic powder instead.
