Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut 600g carrots into chunks and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp cumin seeds and a garlic bulb, broken into cloves. Spread onto a baking tray and roast in the oven for 40 mins or until caramelised.

  • step 2

    Squeeze the cloves out of their skins and tip into a food processor with the carrots, juice of 1 lemon, 120ml extra virgin olive oil, the drained and rinsed chickpeas, and some seasoning. Blitz until smooth. Swirl through some spicy rose harissa. Serve with flatbreads.

Added less olive oil but that was still the prominent flavour. More lemon juice, tahini and some sesame oil improved things greatly. Definitely one to experiment with again.

Made this to the exact recipe and it’s delicious! I am about to make some more, great for a low calorie snack. Yum!

This is such an easy recipe to make and worthwhile spending the time on. I didn't use the 120ml oil but fat free yoghurt instead, I didn't have cumin seeds so used ground cumin instead but think the seeds will be better. Such a great way to make plenty of hummus, I have frozen it as I do with all…

question

Can this be frozen, once made?

Hey, Esther from the food team here! We wouldn't recommend freezing this hummus unfortunately! Do check out lots of freezable meals in our recipe collection though. Thanks for your question!

With a few additional ingredients this is great. With the roasted carrots I added extra cumin and chilli flakes. Added tahini, a drop of smoked rapeseed oil and water when blended it. Nice and thick rather than some of the sloppy shop bought ones.
