I propose a different and healthy starter: hummus with carrots. It has chickpeas, roasted carrots, cumin ... some fantastic ingredients with which we will obtain a most original appetizer.

Unlike traditional hummus we are going to substitute part of the chickpeas for roasted carrots. Isn't that a great idea?

we leave photos with step by step, so that it is easier for you to understand the recipe.

Carrots 6
280 g of cooked chickpeas
2 teaspoons tahini paste
The lemon juice of 1
2 cloves of garlic
2 teaspoons cumin
Virgin olive oil is
Sal Island

Music

If we want to cook the chickpeas we will have to soak them at least 12 hours before we are going to cook them. After that time we cook them, drain them (without throwing away the cooking water) and reserve them.
We preheat the oven to 180.
Peel and chop the carrots. We put them in an oven-safe dish with the two peeled garlic cloves, the cumin, the salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Bake at 180 for approximately 30 minutes, until the carrots are cooked.
We remove a clove of garlic that will not serve us. Put the chickpeas, carrots, the other roasted garlic clove, the teaspoons of tahina, the lemon juice and a little water from the cooking of the chickpeas (or water normal if we have not cooked the chickpeas ourselves).
We grind everything well.
We put our hummus in a container and top it with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
We already have it ready to take to the table.

Notes

We can buy canned chickpeas, already cooked, or use the dried ones and cook them by soaking them first. In the ingredients section we specify the weight of the chickpeas once cooked.
