Roasted Asparagus and Carrots with Hummus Lemon Drizzle
Bring a fresh twist to your dinner with roasted asparagus and carrots, enhanced by a light and tangy hummus lemon drizzle. It's the perfect blend of easy prep and delightful taste, making any meal feel a bit more special without the hassle
Ingredients
For the Roasted Vegetables:
- 16-20 asparagus ends trimmed (about 1lb)
- 5 carrot peeled and cut into batons, large
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Hummus Lemon Drizzle:
- ½ cup hummus
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon dill fresh
- 1 tablespoon cilantro fresh
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is one of the easiest ways to ensure your veggies come out perfectly roasted.
- Meanwhile, prep your veggies. Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and peel the carrots. Cut the carrots into batons to ensure they cook evenly alongside the asparagus.
- In a large bowl, combine the asparagus and carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary. Toss until everything is well-coated with the seasonings and oil. This mix is your flavor foundation.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the veggies in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes. You're aiming for them to be tender but with a bit of a bite, and those lovely browned edges. Give them a stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare your hummus lemon drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the hummus, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and water until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- Once the vegetables are roasted, arrange them on your serving platter. Drizzle generously with the hummus lemon mixture, then garnish with additional dill and a sprinkle of lemon zest for that final touch.
Notes
- Recipe Tips:
- Ensuring your vegetables are cut to similar sizes promotes even roasting.
- Arrange in a single layer on the baking pan to ensure they roast evenly, getting those delicious caramelized edges.
- Adjust the thickness of your hummus drizzle to your liking by adding more or less water.
