Cook Time35 Minutes
0Ingredients
1 lb. carrot, peeled, trimmed, and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup tahini
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped cilantro, for garnish, optional
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (white, black or both), for garnish, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the carrots, oil, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt and cayenne. Toss to coat and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly browned. Let stand until cool.
- Place roasted carrots in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add chickpeas, tahini, garlic and lemon juice. Process to a smooth paste, scraping down the sides occasionally. If too thick, add water, a tablespoon at a time. Taste and season with more salt and/or lemon juice, if necessary.
- Spoon into a serving bowl or platter. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cilantro and pomegranate seeds, if desired. Serve with pita chips or cut-up fresh vegetables.
- To make-ahead: This hummus can be made up to two days ahead and kept, covered, in the refrigerator.
