Adapted from CuBBin the Kitchen’s Carrot & Orange Hummus.
This hummus goes really well with salty snacks such as mini pretzels, which makes up for the pain of having to zest and juice clementines and shred carrots. I chose clementines over oranges as used by CuBBin the Kitchen’s original recipe as that’s was all I had on hand, but I would definitely try oranges the next time. I also doubled the recipe so I did not have to have a half can of chickpeas lying around.
Carrot and Clementine Hummus
Equipment
- Citrus zester
- Rubber spatula
- Food Processor
- Roasting Pan
Ingredients
- 1 can Chickpeas, drained
- 3 tbsp Tahini
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 16-20 tbsp Water
- 8 large Carrot
- 3 Clementine worth of Zest and Juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
- Peel all the carrots and chop them into batons roughly 2 inches long and place onto a roasting pan. Toss the carrots in the oil, salt, and pepper and then cover the pan with foil.
- Roast for 15 minutes covered with foil, then remove the foil and roast for a further 20 minutes.
- While the carrots roast, grate the raw carrots and zest and juice the clementines.
- Place chickpeas between two sheets of paper towels and rub briskly to remove the membranes from the chickpeas (giving you a creamier base). Remove the reaming membranes from the chickpeas.
- Place chickpeas, carrots (roasted and raw), clementine juice and zest, paprika, and tahini into a food processor and pluse until it starts to blend together.
- Add the water two tablespoons at a time and continue to pulse until you reach your desired consistency. You may need more water or a little less.

Tips and Techniques
The hummus keeps well in the fridge for a couple of weeks. Have not tried to freeze it, although I doubt it will freeze well due to the carrots and clementine flavor.
The small servings of this recipe makes it work well for single people as it’s easy to portion out and it keeps well in the fridge.
