Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Carrot Hummus with Asian Flavors.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Next, spread out your vibrant carrot pieces and aromatic garlic cloves on the baking sheet.
Step 3
Give them a gentle drizzle of 2 teaspoons of sesame oil and a sprinkle of kosher salt, then toss everything together to ensure each piece is beautifully coated.
Step 4
Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let the magic happen for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even roasting.
Step 5
You’ll know they’re ready when the carrots are tender and bursting with flavor.
Step 6
Once they’re done, take them out and let them cool for about 10 to 15 minutes—this is the perfect time to savor the delicious aroma wafting through your kitchen.
Step 7
Now, grab your food processor and combine the roasted carrots and garlic with a can of garbanzo beans, a handful of chopped cashews, a splash of rice vinegar, the juice of a fresh lime, a generous scoop of tahini, a bit of grated ginger, a dash of Sriracha for some heat, a sprinkle of paprika, and a pinch of salt.
Step 8
Blend everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency that’s simply irresistible.
Step 9
As you blend, slowly add the reserved bean liquid, one tablespoon at a time, until your hummus reaches that perfect texture you love.
Step 10
Don’t forget to taste your creation! Adjust the seasoning if needed to make it just right for your palate.
Step 11
Once you’re satisfied, transfer your delightful hummus to a serving bowl.
Step 12
For a finishing touch, drizzle a little extra sesame oil on top and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro.
Step 13
This vibrant dish is not just a treat for the taste buds; it’s a feast for the eyes too! Enjoy your homemade roasted carrot hummus with pita chips, fresh veggies, or simply on its own—it's sure to be a hit!.
