Ingredients
- 2 large zucchinis ends removed, peeled, and cut into fourths
- 1 large onion skin removed, sliced in half
- 3 cloves garlic skin left on
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil divided*
- 1 Tablespoon Tahini
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice about one lemon
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- kosher salt
- coarse black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 424°F.
- Add the zucchini, onion, and garlic cloves to a nonstick baking sheet. Space each vegetable flat-side down. I like to avoid foil and parchment paper so that the bottoms will get nicely charred.
- Drizzle a tablespoon or so of olive oil on the zucchini, onion, and garlic. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Next, rub the oil and seasonings evenly around the veggies and garlic cloves. Any spots left empty will not caramelize and brown.
- Next, transfer the veggies to the oven and bake at 400 °F for 30 minutes or until the bottoms have browned nicely. Once roasted, set aside to cool for 30 minutes 15 minutes.
- When ready, place the roasted zucchini, onion, and garlic in the blender. Then, add the cumin, tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- If you wish to serve the hummus cold, add a couple of ice cubes to the blender while processing. This will make it cooler and fluffier.
- Transfer to your favorite serving bowl and enjoy right away.

Notes
- This recipe makes about two cups of zucchini hummus.
- Divided olive oil: you will add one tablespoon of olive oil to the veggies before baking, and then the other two tablespoons will go into the blender.
