This roasted carrot hummus is vibrant and full of flavour. Sweet roasted carrots are blended with chickpeas and tahini to create a creamy dip.
Creamy, vibrant, and packed with flavour, this roasted carrot hummus is a fresh twist on the classic dip.
Sweet, caramelised carrots are roasted until tender, then blended with chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and warm spices like cumin and paprika to create a smooth spread that's creamy and delicious.
Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots, giving the hummus a rich depth of flavour that pairs perfectly with pita chips, fresh veggies, or as a hearty sandwich spread.
It’s simple to make, beautifully colourful, and guaranteed to be a standout at any gathering!
Like our Caramelized Onion Hummus, Chestnut Hummus, Black Chickpea Hummus and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, this recipe puts a fresh spin on tradition, offering a unique option for snacking, spreading, or sharing!

The sweetness from the caramelised carrots against the nutty tahini makes this so much more interesting than plain hummus, and I love serving it with cucumber sticks and a handful of pita chips on the side for a bit of crunch.

Looks delicious, but shouldn't the oven temp in farenheit be higher than the temp in centigrade? 200C = 392F. Really looking forward to trying this!! 🙂
