This roast carrot hummus is a great way to use up carrots that need cooking. Don’t forget to save the aquafaba from your chickpeas to make vegan mayonnaise.
Head straight on to the Recipe For Roast Carrot Hummus ♥
Dave and I eat a really healthy diet during the week. I have fruit for breakfast and he has toasted muesli. I have been making the same recipe for years now, with slight changes depending on my mood, and what is in my pantry. Some mornings I might add a handful of this to my fruit for crunch. Dave is excellent at lunch time, having salad every day. My lunch depends on whether I am in the office or not. And I usually have leftover dinner for my meal. Since Dave has been on a weight losing mission we have been eating crudités before dinner. This has replaced our snacks of pickles and cheese. To spice things up a bit I made roast carrot hummus last week. I am now getting a veggie box delivery and the carrots in it were a bit soft.

They were not good for eating, but perfect for roasting. The veggie box is a new delivery service in Gordons Bay. There is a choice of large or small each week, and an interesting selection of both fruit and vegetables. The first week I thought the children would share the vegetables with us and I bought the large box. James and Carli didn’t need anything, and surprisingly we ate our way through everything. I even had to supplement the contents which I don’t mind doing. On top of the snack platter which includes carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes we are having two vegetables with our meals. The variety in the box is encouraging me to think of new ways to cook vegetables. So far I have made parsnip purée, hasselback potatoes, and creamy courgettes. Don’t be surprised if you start seeing more vegetarian recipes here.

Thank you Mandy xxx
What a unique recipe Tandy! Tom and I try to eat healthy during the week too Cheese is my ultimate weakness!! Not pickles though, haha. Salads mostly for me too for lunch. Still trying to loose that last 5 pounds of baby fat. Ugh.
Cheese is a weakness for me too!
Tandy, we eat a lot of carrots and hummus up this way, but I never thought of blending the two. Brilliant idea.
Thank you, I am trying all new ideas with our hummus 🙂
This looks delicious and great idea to use the softish carrots in it. It must be fun to have a bit of a surprise every week but I don’t know if I would find the surprise element too much when recipe planning.
I get a list of what’s coming so I can plan a bit.
We love hummus around here. 🙂 We usually eat it with carrots, so I know we’d love a roasted carrot version. 🙂
I am loving coming up with new flavours 🙂
this sounds like an interesting and tasty dip tandy. i always feel so guilty now when i throw away the chickpea water:) …
Me too!
I do love hummus, Tandy.
Me too Robbie
I like your creative version of hummus Tandy.
Thank you Karen 🙂
