Carrot Hummus

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Place the carrots and garlic cloves on a rimmed baking pan. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over the top and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. With your hands, mix it all together and spread the carrots evenly on the pan.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Remove pan from the oven and set aside to cool. After the carrots have cooled, place them into the base of a food processor.

Add the garbanzo beans, lemon juice, orange juice, cumin and the additional 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pulse until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with pita chips or crudites.

Note: If you want a smoother texture to your hummus, add more olive oil, 1 teaspoon at a time.
