Sriracha Carrot Hummus Ingredients

Let's talk about the ingredients you need to make this recipe:

Chickpeas. I used canned chickpeas; It gives Hummus a nutty, earthy flavor.

Tahini. To pair the nutty and earthy flavor of chickpeas, add tahini to the mixture. It has a strong, earthy flavor and we will only use 2 tablespoons.

Roasted Carrots. The carrots provide depth of flavor to the hummus. It is best to use roasted carrot since it allows for intense sweetness transmitted to the dip. Roasted carrots provide a bright tinge of orange to the hummus.

Garlic. It adds a warm flavor to the hummus, which is almost close to being spicy. Garlic will also balance out the taste of the rest of the ingredients in the mixture since it is a well-known flavoring agent.

Seasonings. Season your hummus with coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt.

Sriracha. Add more spice into the mixture by pouring in sriracha to your hummus.

Olive Oil. Olive oil will make the texture of your Hummus silkier and smoother.

Lemon juice. It gives a burst of complex citrus flavor to the hummus.

Parsley. For a classic look of your dish, garnish it too with parsley.

Pine Nut. The extra-nutty flavor is added when you garnish pine nut to your hummus.

Variations & Substitutions

• Adding cinnamon powder to the mixture intensifies its spice.
• Greek yogurt or peanut butter is a good substitute for tahini.
• Garnish your Carrot Hummus with the simple crunch of black sesame seeds; these seeds also taste nutty! You can also garnish with fresh herbs such as chives or basil.
