Smoky Roasted Carrot White Bean Hummus

This smoky roasted carrot white bean hummus is easy to make but fancier than classic hummus. White beans blend up to creamy bliss, and the combination of roasted carrots and smoked paprika gives it a sweet and smoky flavour. 

Hummus is delicious in any way, shape, or form, but this smoky roasted carrot white bean hummus is probably my favourite to date! There’s this smoky-sweet undertone that I can’t get enough of. Given how many bunches of carrots we’ve gotten in our CSA box this year, we’ve been searching for inventive ways to use them. I must say that this dip is my favourite use for them yet. 🙂 

The great thing about this dip is that it’s easy to make, but feels just a little bit fancier than classic hummus. It would be the perfect appetizer to serve at a dinner party (a responsible one with people who are part of your covid bubble, of course). It also makes a great back to school snack for older kids- it would be delicious on a sandwich with avocado, tomato, and greens, or as part of a lunch bowl with grains and roasted vegetables. 

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

• Carrots, white beans, lemon juice, tahini, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, sea salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Chickpeas will also work if that’s all you have!

For a kick of heat, add cayenne or chili flakes to taste.

I like to garnish the dip with a few leaves of cilantro.
