Ingredients:

5 tbsp hummus
72g
1 cup carrots
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Carrots:
- Wash and peel the carrots.
- Cut the carrots into evenly sized sticks or rounds to ensure even roasting.

3. Season the Carrots:
- Optionally, toss the carrots with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices to enhance the flavor.

4. Roast the Carrots:
- Spread the prepared carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
5. Serve with Hummus:
- Once the carrots are roasted to your liking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Arrange the roasted carrots on a serving platter.
- Spoon the hummus into a small bowl or spread it directly on the serving platter next to the roasted carrots.
6. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Optionally, garnish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of paprika or sumac for extra flavor and presentation.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer, snack, or side dish.

Tips:

- Preheat the oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to 400°F (200°C) before placing the carrots inside. This helps them cook evenly and develop a nice caramelized exterior.

- Evenly coat the carrots: Toss the carrots with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will enhance their flavor and ensure they don’t dry out.

- Use parchment paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. It makes for easier cleanup and prevents the carrots from sticking to the pan.

- Check for doneness: Roast the carrots for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned. Check them periodically and give them a toss halfway through to ensure even cooking.

- Serve with extra garnishes: For added flair, consider garnishing the roasted carrots and hummus with fresh parsley, a sprinkle of paprika, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.

In just a few easy steps, you can create a delectable dish of roasted carrots with creamy hummus that’s sure to impress. This recipe highlights the natural flavors of the ingredients while providing a healthy, balanced option for any meal. Enjoy your homemade culinary creation with friends and family, or savor it on your own as a guilt-free indulgence!
