Roasted Carrot Hummus

 






Ingredients:

2 pounds carrots, peeled

2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

3 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Directions:

Put the carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 30 to 40 minutes or until they are beginning to brown.

Put the carrots into a blender along with the tahini, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, cinnamon, and salt and pepper, to taste. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more salt, pepper, lemon and cinnamon, if needed. 

Pour into a serving bowl and garnish with chickpeas, chopped parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve or refrigerate until ready to serve. 


Note:

I bought a huge bag of carrots awhile ago. As usual I forgot about them. When I peaked in the drawer I saw that I needed to use them ASAP. 

Since I love hummus I made this.
