Great for fall, this hummus recipe has red pepper and carrot to add a new twist to a healthy favourite.
Prep Time

Cook Time

Total Time
25 min
Ingredients
- 1 cup Baby Carrots, boiled until soft
- 1-2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 red pepper, cut into one-inch pieces
- 1 can (540 ml) chick peas (AKA garbanzo beans), drained but save liquid in a bowl
- 1.5 tbsp Tahini Paste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 or 3 cloves of garlic
Instructions
- If you haven't already, boil the baby carrots until soft, set aside.
- Add 1-2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp minced garlic, and one chopped red pepper to a hot skillet and cover. Cook on medium heat until soft.
- In a food processor, or blender, add chick peas, tahini paste, 1 tbsp olive oil, cloves of garlic, boiled carrots, and cooked red pepper. Also add in 2-3 tbsp of the saved chick pea liquid.
- Blend until everything is mixed.
- Serve with baby carrots, bread, crackers...
Notes
- If your hummus is too thick while you are mixing it, add more chick pea liquid one tablespoon at a tie until a good consistency is reached.
- I went a little easy on the garlic this time around. Taste it and add extra garlic as needed.
- You can serve it warm, or cool it in the fridge.

That hummus sounds amazing! I must try it and will pass the recipe on to my mom too – she pretty much lives on hummus and is always looking for a yummy new take on it. #client
Thanks Cyn. I’ll be making it again in about a week. It has been requested as a snack option for school as well.
Your hummus looks delicious, and such a great idea to serve with carrots, and Wheat Thins Popped!
