Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
 

  • Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Taste your hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer a tangier dip, add more lemon juice. For a richer flavor, stir in an extra tablespoon of tahini. Don't be afraid to experiment – this recipe is forgiving and can be tailored to your personal preferences.
  • This roasted root veggie hummus is a showstopper on any appetizer table. Serve it with a variety of dippers, such as:
  • For a truly American twist, try serving it alongside a classic tailgating spread, complete with buffalo wings and seven-layer dip. Your guests will be raving about this unique, flavorful hummus long after the game ends.
  • This hummus can be made up to 3 days in advance, making it a great option for entertaining. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and give it a good stir before serving. If the hummus thickens up too much, thin it out with a tablespoon or two of water.
  • Absolutely! If you're short on time, start with a high-quality store-bought hummus and blend in your roasted carrots and parsnips. You may need to adjust the seasoning, but it's a great time-saving option.
  • We don't recommend freezing this hummus, as the texture can become grainy when thawed. Instead, make a fresh batch and enjoy it within a few days.
  • Feel free to experiment with other root vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, beets, or turnips. Each will bring its unique flavor and color to the hummus, so have fun and get creative!
