Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- On a baking sheet, toss the carrots and garlic cloves with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the cumin, salt and pepper. Roast until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until warm. Peel the garlic cloves.
- In a food processor, combine the roasted carrots and garlic with the tahini, cilantro, lemon juice and 5 tablespoons water. Pulse until smooth. With the processor running, slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer to a serving bowl. Make a small well in the center of the hummus and fill with olive oil. Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon cilantro over the top. Serve with crudites and pita chips.

Steps:
- Cook the chopped carrot and garlic in simmering, salted water, for about 20 minutes or until soft.
- Drain well, then return them to the hot, dry pan for a minute or two, over medium heat, to dry them out further.
- Tip the carrots and garlic into the food processor bowl, and process until smooth.
- Add the cumin, paprika, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, sea salt, honey and lemon juice and whizz again.
- With the machine still running, add the olive oil gradually.
- Allow to cool.
- Spoon into a serving bowl, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, scatter with olives and cilantro leaves, and serve with lightly warmed flat bread for dipping.
Tips:
- For a smoother hummus, peel the carrots before roasting.
- To save time, use pre-cooked chickpeas. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
- If you don't have tahini, you can substitute another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
- Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for a creamier hummus.
- For a spicier hummus, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika.
- Serve the hummus with a variety of dippers, such as pita bread, vegetable crudités, or crackers.
