Ingredients

  • 1 lb carrots, cut into 2-inch slices
  • 6 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1⁄4 tsp salt, divided
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground black pepper, divided
  • 1 3⁄4 cups low-sodium canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1⁄2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1⁄2 tsp chili powder

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine carrots, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1⁄8 teaspoon of the salt, and 1⁄8 teaspoon of the pepper; toss to coat. Transfer carrots to a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Bake carrots until slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. In a blender, combine roasted carrots, chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, chili powder, remaining 1⁄8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper. Blend on high speed until smooth. With blender running on low speed, slowly add remaining olive oil and pulse until smooth.
  5. Transfer to a dip bowl and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • You can swap the chickpeas for white beans such as great northern or cannellini.
  • Serve this dip with vegetables, crackers, or crusty bread.
