1 can Del Monte Hot Honey Sliced Carrots, drained
15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Salt to taste
For topping: chili flakes, fresh parsley, a swirl of hot honey and olive oil
In a food processor, combine the carrots, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika and a generous pinch of salt.
Blend until mostly smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
Add warm water a tablespoon at a time until the texture is creamy and spreadable. Typically about 2-3 tbsp of water.
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, honey, and fresh parsley or chili flakes.*
*For a spicier hummus, add an additional 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes.
