roasted carrot humus
We are a humus loving family around here. Especially homemade humus. But there is a limit to how much of the same type of humus one can eat, without a little variety.
Enter my roasted carrot humus, which relies on the natural sweetness roasting brings out, instead of beans for its flavor.
Ingredients:
6 large carrots, peeled and cut
4 Tbsp evoo
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp salt
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup sesame oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450.
Place carrots and garlic, in skin, on a baking pan. Toss with evoo.
Roast in oven 30 - 40 minutes. Tossing occasionally.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Add carrots to a food processor.
Squeeze garlic out of skin and add to carrots.
Add lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of salt.
Turn food processor on, and slowly add sesame oil while running. Stop once mixture is puréed.
Allow humus to cool before serving.
