Roasted Carrot & Black Lentil Hummus

1

Preheat the oven to 400℉.

2

Toss the carrots with 1 Tbsp of olive oil and roast for 15 minutes until soft and starting to brown.

3

Meanwhile, add the black sesame seeds to a food processor and process on high until a paste forms. This will likely take about 5 minutes of continuous processing. Scrape the sides if necessary.

4

Then, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 ½ cups of the chickpeas, 2 garlic cloves, half the cumin, half the lemon juice and ½ teaspoon of the salt to the food processor. Process until smooth. Add up to 4 tablespoons of water, if needed, to create a smoother hummus. It should be smooth enough that you can spread it.

5

Clean out the food processor and add the remaining ingredients along with the roasted carrots. Process until smooth and add up to 4 tablespoons of water to create a smoother hummus, if needed.
