How To Make roasted carrot hummus

Step 1

CARROTS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil, lightly greased; set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, place sliced carrots and drizzle on olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
Step 3

Drop them onto the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast until carrots are fork-tender, about 40 minutes.
Step 4

Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Step 5

HUMMUS: In the bowl of a food processor, add chickpeas, roasted carrot slices, tahini paste, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and zest.
Step 6

Place the lid on, and remove the food pusher. Pulse a dozen times before letting the machine run.
Step 7

Slowly pour in 2 Tbsp olive oil through the feeder tube and then 1 Tbsp broth.
Step 8

Stop the appliance; taste and adjust until consistency is smooth (it might need another tablespoon oil and broth).
Step 9

Transfer hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle olive oil on top, and garnish with chopped pistachios.
