Roasted Carrot Hummus Bowls- a carrot flavored hummus is combined with bulgur wheat, roasted zucchini, cannellini beans, and vegan feta cheese to make an amazingly delicious lunch.
I love to serve it with a few triangles of pita bread or flatbread, but it’s not necessary.
There is so much to love about this recipe. Adding roasted carrots to hummus gives it a fantastic, slightly-sweet flavor.
Ingredients Needed For Roasted Carrot Hummus Bowls
- Carrots– they are roasted and blended with the hummus.
- Zucchini– cut into matchsticks and roasted. Adds more veggies to this delicious lunch.
- Za’atar Seasoning– seasons the zucchini. It’s a Middle Eastern spice blend made with cumin, thyme, and sumac. You can use Italian or Greek seasoning instead.
- Lemon– added to the hummus.
- Tahini– a traditional hummus ingredient.
- Cannellini Beans– used instead of garbanzo beans for the hummus and also added to the bowl. I love how creamy they are compared to garbanzo beans.
- Olive Oil
- Peppadew Peppers- I LOVE these things. They are sweet and a little pickled. They can be hard to find. I buy these peppers from Amazon. Also great on salads and in sandwiches.
- Vegan Feta Cheese– I use Violife Vegan Feta Cheese. It is probably my favorite vegan cheese. So creamy and good.
Servings and Storage
This recipe makes about 3 servings and will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days.
Equipment Needed
Food Processor to make the hummus. If you don’t have food processor, you can use a potato masher, but the hummus will not be as smooth.
