Ingredients
- 1 to 1½ lbs carrots 6 to 8 carrots
- 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided 60 mL
- 1 oz can chickpeas* 425 g, drained and rinsed – reserve chickpea juice
- 3 Tbsp Tahini 45 mL
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice 30 mL
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Roast: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Wash the carrots and set them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush them with 1 Tbsp of olive oil, then roast them for 35 minutes until soft.
- Blend: Add roasted carrots and all remaining ingredients to a food processor or blender. Blitz until smooth and creamy, adding a dash of chickpea juice as needed to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Serve: For the best texture, let the hummus cool in the fridge for an hour before enjoying it.
Notes
- *Dried chickpeas: This recipe is great if you soak and cook the chickpeas yourself. Cook the chickpeas a bit longer than usual until they become very soft (borderline mushy). This will give you the creamiest hummus!

- Storage: When you're done snacking, put your leftovers in an airtight container and store it in the fridge.
- Do I have to peel the carrots? It's up to you! I like to keep the peels on, but you can peel them if you want. If you decide not to peel, the skin of the carrots will soften up nicely and blend in well once roasted. The olive oil will keep them moist while they're in the oven. Plus, the skins are packed with Vitamin C!
- I can't eat chickpeas. Can I use a substitute? Yes! You can roast cauliflower florets along with the carrots and use them in place of the chickpeas.
