- almost perfect substitution. Cooked chickpeas by Le Conserve Della Nonna in a
- 248mL jar. If you ever see these, pick them up, they make a super smooth
- hummus.
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400˚F and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the sliced carrots on the parchment, drizzle with oil and lay the carrots evenly across the sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Roast for about 45 minutes or until nicely charred and soft.
- 2
Place the garlic into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until chopped.
- 3
Add the chickpeas, aquafaba and 4 carrot halves (reserve the rest for garnish). Process until chopped and close to a paste.
- 4
Add tahini, lemon juice, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, process.
- 5
Drizzle in water. Process again. Add more water and lemon juice as needed to thin the hummus to desired consistency, you may also add more tahini if you like a smoother texture.

Spoon the hummus on a plate and using the back of a spoon, spread the hummus out, making indentations and swirls throughout. Lay the remaining carrot halves on one side of the hummus, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with zaatar. Serves 10 *I like to use a jar of chickpeas or a BPA free can on chickpeas because I am using the aquafaba and I want the aquafaba as pure as possible. ch
