Ingredients

  • 1 to 1½ lbs carrot 6 to 8 carrots
  • 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided 60 mL
  • 1 oz can chickpea 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 black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Serve: For the best texture, let the hummus cool in the fridge for an hour before enjoying it.

Notes

  • Cooking dried chickpeas until very soft creates a creamier hummus texture compared to canned ones.
  • Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge keeps the hummus fresh for days.
  • Carrots can be peeled or roasted with skins on; the skin softens when roasted and adds nutrients.
  • For those who cannot eat chickpeas, roasted cauliflower can substitute in this recipe.
