Ingredients

For the Roasted Carrots
  • 3 large carrots (about 12 ounces) peeled and sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 unpeeled garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Hummus
  • 2 (15-ounce cans) chickpeas drained with liquid reserved
  • ⅓ cup chickpea liquid or more, as needed
  • ½ cup Tahini
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 lemons juiced (about 6 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For Garnish
  • extra-virgin olive oil, chopped cilantro, and chopped pumpkin seeds.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Roast carrots: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the carrots and garlic cloves on a baking sheet and toss with the oil. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until tender. Let cool to the touch, then remove the peel from the garlic.
  2. Blend hummus: Add the chickpeas, chickpea liquid, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, ginger, coriander, salt, carrots, and peeled garlic to a high-powered blender and secure the lid. Turn the blender on high for 30 seconds (or more for a creamier texture) and use the tamper to push the hummus into the blades. Add more chickpea liquid (aquafaba), if desired, for a softer hummus.
  3. Serve: Add the hummus to a small serving bowl and garnish with olive oil, chopped cilantro and chopped pumpkin seeds.

Notes

  • A small quarter baking sheet is perfect for roasting smaller quantities like these carrots. I use my quarter baking sheet all the time!
  • You can also make tahini yourself (rather than buying in the store). Just follow my tahini recipe.
  • The Vitamix blender I use is the Vitamix Ascent 3500 - and I love it!
  • 1 cup of dried chickpeas = 3 cups of soaked and cooked chickpeas = approx 30 ounces canned chickpeas
