Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Peel and slice the rainbow carrots into uniform sizes to ensure even roasting.
- Place the carrots in a mixing bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss until they are well-coated.
- Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
- While the carrots are roasting, place the peas in a small saucepot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked peas and 1/2 cup of hummus. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- On a serving platter or individual plates, spread a generous layer of the pea hummus.
- Arrange the roasted rainbow carrots on top of the hummus.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley, mint, or dill for added flavor and a pop of color.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh, organic rainbow carrots if possible to get the best flavor and color.
- Cut the carrots into uniform sizes to ensure even roasting.
- For added flavor, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature (around 400°F or 200°C) to achieve a caramelized exterior and tender interior.
- For a smoother hummus, use slightly thawed frozen peas instead of fresh ones.
- Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for an extra burst of freshness and color.
