Carrot hummus, No oil

My chickpeas ration is over and I am awaiting it in the next batch from Amazon. So I was in a dilemna as I didn't have any spread for my freshly baked bread. That's when I discovered that hummus can be made from carrot too. Did you know?

The components...

Carrot - 1 and 1/2

Garlic - 2 cloves

Sesame seeds, white - 1/4 tsp

Cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp

Salt - 2 pinches

Pepper - a bit

Lemon - 1/2

Cold water - a few splashes

 

 

The process... 

 Peel carrot and slice into thin strips. Peel garlic and slice it small. In a baking tray lined with baking paper, place carrot, garlic. Sprinkle the sesame and cumin seeds. 

Preheat oven to 200C. Roast for 20 minutes. Allow to cool.

 

 

 

Throw the roasted items, salt and pepper into a blender jar. Squeeze in juice of lemon and add water too. Blend to a fine paste. Spread on your homemade bread slice!
