    Carrot Hummus (Smoky OR Spicy!)

    3
    By Alisa Fleming on September 10, 2013 Appetizers, Condiments and Salad Dressings, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    Buck tradition with this brilliant carrot hummus! Unlike ordinary hummus, the tahini is omitted for a mellower, sesame-free flavor. And carrots are whizzed for pleasant sweetness and a good dose of healthy carotenoids. To amp up the flavor, it contains two options for the spices. One is southwestern with smoked paprika, and the other is curry, which pairs nicely with the orange hue.

    Savory Spiced Carrot Hummus DipThis smoky or spicy carrot hummus recipe with photo was shared with us by Libby’s Table.

    This simple carrot hummus is perfect as a dip or spread, and makes a perfect sandwich accompaniment for school and work lunch boxes. To make a sandwich, spread 2 tablespoons of the carrot hummus on a slice of whole grain bread (your choice of “just” dairy-free or gluten-free, too). Top with avocado, tomato, turkey (omit for vegan / vegetarian) and finish with a second piece of whole grain bread.

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, peanut-free, tree nut-free, soy-free, vegan, vegetarian, and generally top food allergy-friendly.

    That said, feel free to experiment with other favorite vegetables. Cooked parsnips in particular are a tasty option that will give you more of a natural hummus hue.

        I linked up to the size – 14.5 ounces – so I would start with 1 lb carrots.

      Sounds great! I can imagine that the carrot adds a subtle, natural sweetness, so that pairing with a bit of spice sounds like a perfect balance. Gotta try it ASAP.
