Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.

  2. On a baking sheet, toss carrots and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil and seasoning. Bake covered for 10 minutes, then uncovered for 10-15 more minutes until tender and browned; let cool.

  3. Meanwhile, combine chickpeas, broth or water, and baking soda in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes until very tender. Drain and rinse the chickpeas with cold water.

  4. Peel the cooled garlic. Add roasted carrots, peeled garlic, drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, and cumin to a food processor; season.

  5. Process the mixture until smooth. While the processor runs, drizzle in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then 2 tablespoons cold water. Add up to 2 additional tablespoons of cold water to reach a very smooth, creamy consistency.

  6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, garnish, and serve with pita.
