Sweet roasted carrots are a beautiful addition to classic hummus; they also give the dip a brilliant Halloween-orange glow. Make the dip ahead and refrigerate with sliced vegetables for whenever the trick-or-treating winds down and your guests crave a savory snack. The liquid from a can of chickpeas packs a ton of flavor and protein; reserve it after draining and use to smooth the dip to just the right consistency.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Drain chickpeas in a colander over a bowl; reserve chickpea liquid. Combine drained chickpeas, 1 tablespoon oil, and carrots on a rimmed baking sheet; toss to coat. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes or until carrots are tender and chickpeas begin to crisp.
Step 3
Place carrot mixture in a food processor with 1/3 cup reserved chickpea liquid, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, juice, and remaining ingredients; process until smooth, adding up to 1/4 cup chickpea liquid or water as needed to reach desired consistency.
