Sweet and Spicy Sriracha and Carrot Hummus
Description
The recipe uses roughly chopped carrots and garlic blended first to a fine texture, then combined with chickpeas, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and sriracha hot sauce. The hummus is puréed until smooth, with water added gradually to reach the desired creaminess. The carrots add natural sweetness and earthiness balancing the spiciness of the sriracha and the tartness of lemon juice.
This hummus works well as a dip for vegetables, chips, or as a sandwich spread. Adjust the amount of sriracha depending on your spice preference. The flavors meld well after chilling.
If you use a blender instead of a food processor, grating carrots first helps achieve a smoother texture. This recipe yields a thick hummus that will thicken further when refrigerated, so add water accordingly to account for that.
Ingredients
- 2 carrot roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 30 oz. chickpeas rinsed and drained (2.5 cups cooked chickpeas, canned
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- lemon juice of one
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup sriracha hot sauce or more or less, depending on spicy preference
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the carrots and garlic and blend until finely minced.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for water, and blend until smooth.
- Gradually add a tablespoon of water at a time until hummus reaches desired consistency (keep in mind that when refrigerated, the hummus will thicken a bit more).
Notes
- When using a blender, grate carrots before blending all ingredients together to achieve better consistency.
- Adjust sriracha quantity to your preferred spiciness level.
- Note that nutritional info excludes added salt, optional ingredients, and brand variations; calculate manually if desired.
