How to Make Carrot Hummus

This hummus recipe requires a little extra step to get that delicious roasted carrot flavor, but it's so worth it! Other than that it's super easy.

1. Roast the carrots.
2. Add to a food processor.
3. Blend it all together.
4. Serve!

Serving Suggestions

When it comes to food I love texture. Since hummus is soft, I love pairing it with something crunchy. The crackers from Simple Mills are some of my favorite! Amazing texture, great taste. And my kids love them!

Not only are they made with a short list of ingredients, but you know what the ingredients are and they are all simple and whole food based! They have a variety of flavors plus are gluten-free so safe for me to eat.

There is one more thing that made melove these crackers. They are strong! You can dip them without the cracker crumbling. I know, weird of me to mention, but there is nothing worse than a million crumbled crackers in your dip that get mushy and pretty much ruin it. EWE.

In addition to these crackers, you can also serve this roasted carrot hummus with:

• Tortilla Chips
• Pita chips
• Pita bread or naan
• Baguette slices

Or if you want ideas for ways to eat hummus without bread try any of these:

• Carrots (for extra carrot flavor!)
• Celery
• Bell Peppers
• Jicima
• Snap Peas
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Cherry tomatoes

Or, make this a fun kid activity and let them decorate the crackers! First spread the roasted carrot hummus on the crackers and let them load with toppings like:

• Chopped roasted red pepper
• Pine nuts
• Fresh Parsley
• Red peppers
• Drizzle of olive oil
• Olives

More Uses for Hummus

Don't stop at dipping! Try enjoying this carrot hummus any of these tasty ways:

• As a spread for your sandwich
• On a vegan grazing board
• A topper for baked potatoes
• Thin it out and use it as a salad dressing
• Put it on toast
• With falafel
• Use it to decorate and make cute things (plus keep your kids busy, bonus yes!)

Preparation Tips

• White bean hummus recipes have a more creamy flavor as well as a super smooth texture, which I prefer over the chickpea variety.
• If you don't want to make this carrot hummus without chickpeas you may use them instead, or use a combination of chickpeas and white beans.
  • The chickpeas give a more bean like flavor and make it more light and fluffy in my opinion.
  • You may need to adjust the liquid amounts to achieve your ideal texture.
• This hummus recipe was created without tahini. Feel free to mix some in if you love the flavor.
  • Adding tahini will thin out the hummus, reduce the other liquids or add more white beans and adjust to your liking as you go.
• Any type of carrots works here, but I prefer the regular large carrots. When roasted these give a more traditional flavor and are amazing!
• A food processor will give you the smoothest texture. A blender can also work, but make sure you have a tamper tool to get everything mixed in.

Storage Tips

• Store roasted carrot hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
• Hummus can also be frozen. Seal in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top of the hummus so it covers the top and helps prevent freezer burn and then cover.
• Defrost in the refrigerator the day before you plan on serving.
