Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium carrots
  • 1 can chickpeas drained
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • Optional for dipping: carrot sticks, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, pita bread, pretzels, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Roast and prepare carrots: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degree C). Wash carrots (do not peel) and slice, then place into a small pan and drizzle with olive oil. Cover the pan with foil and roast in the oven until carrots are soft, about 20 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Blend hummus: Add carrots, drained chickpeas, garlic cloves, tahini, lemon juice, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes, stopping periodically to push down any ingredients that are on the sides of the food processing container.
  • Serve and store: To serve immediately, place blended hummus in a small bowl and serve with dipping ingredients like carrots, celery, pita, or pretzels. To store, simply place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Leftovers and storage: To store in the refrigerator, simply place in an airtight container and store in for up to 4 days. To freeze, store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. To thaw, simply remove it to the refrigerator for 24 hours before serving. You may need to stir in extra olive oil for a creamier consistency after freezing.
  • Nutrition notes: Nutrition information was calculated for carrot hummus ingredients only, not for additional dipping ingredients like carrots or pretzels. This recipe is vegan and uses gluten free ingredients. This recipe contains tahini, which is made from sesame, which is a major allergen.
