Carrot Hummus

Carrot month calls for a monochromatic snack! This orange hummus made with carrots instead of garbanzo beans is slightly sweet and a pretty shade of orange. It’s perfect for dipping or spreading on a wrap.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  
• Olive oil
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
  
• 1 lime, juiced
  
• 5 tablespoons water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400F. 1. On a baking sheet, toss carrots in olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Roast until the carrots are tender, stirring halfway through, about 25 minutes. Let cool.
   
2. Add roasted carrots, garlic powder, tahini, lime juice and water to a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Slowly add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil with the food processor running slowly.
