Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place the carrots, red bell pepper (open face down), and garlic (drizzled with oil and wrapped in aluminum foil) onto a baking sheet. Drizzle carrots and bell pepper with olive oil. Sprinkle spices onto the carrots and add salt to the bell pepper. Bake for about 30 minutes until the carrots and pepper are charred and tender. Remove from oven and let cool.

  5. To serve, spread the hummus onto warmed flatbread and top with your chosen vegetables. Enjoy!

Notes

This hummus is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can adjust the consistency by adding more or less water during blending.
