1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

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.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 ounces carrots, peeled and chopped into large pieces
1 clove garlic, peeled and left whole
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch cayenne pepper
sea salt, to taste
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons seeded green olives (left whole or chopped, your preference)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
4 -6 rounds flat bread or 4 -6 pita pocket bread

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.

Conclusion:

Moroccan carrot hummus is a delicious and healthy dip that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are serving it as an appetizer, a snack, or a main course, this hummus is sure to be a hit.
