This 25-Minute Roasted Carrot Hummus offers a vibrant twist on the classic chickpea dip by incorporating sweet, caramelized roasted carrots and warming spices. Roasting the carrots and garlic enhances their natural sweetness, blending perfectly with creamy tahini and lemon juice for a smooth, flavorful hummus that’s perfect as a dip, spread, or sandwich accompaniment.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 3 cloves garlic, unpeeled

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander

Liquids and Others

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 15 ounces canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup ice water, divided

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro or parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Carrots: Preheat your oven to 400℉. Place the diced carrots and unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, and coriander. Toss everything together to coat evenly, then spread out the pieces so they aren’t overlapping.
  2. Roast Carrots and Garlic: Roast in the oven until the carrots are very tender and golden brown on the edges, about 25 minutes. You can test tenderness by mashing a piece with a fork. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the outer skin off the garlic cloves.
  3. Blend the Hummus: In a food processor, combine the roasted carrots, peeled garlic, chickpeas, tahini, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup of ice water. Blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides and check consistency. Add additional water in small amounts as needed to achieve a creamy texture.
  4. Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste your hummus and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice if desired. Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley if using. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week.

Notes

  • Roasting the carrots and garlic brings out natural sweetness and adds depth of flavor.
  • Be sure to spread carrots and garlic evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  • The hummus can be thinned or thickened by adjusting the amount of water added during blending.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within one week for best taste.
