Do your kids love to dip? One of my kids especially will pretty much eat any dip and try anything with a dipper. The other two not so much. But not to worry – the more for us! I love a dipper. They are great with veggie sticks or crackers. And this Honey Roasted Carrot Hummus is sooo good. Packed with flavour and goodness it’s a yummy inclusion to the lunchbox or for snacks at home.
This Honey Roasted Carrot Hummus is also super easy to make too. Once the carrots are roasted it’s as simple as popping everything in a food processor and whizzing it up. It also stores well for around three days in the fridge.
Roasting the Carrots
To roast these carrots, preheat your oven to 200c and line a baking tray with baking paper. Clean the carrots thoroughly and peel if they are require. Cut the carrots in half lengthways and place on the prepared baking tray and drizzle with the honey and oil. Bake at around 200c for 20 minutes turning half way through. I cool the carrots before getting ready to whizz together everything for the Carrot Hummus.
Serving Ideas
I love this Honey Roasted Carrot Hummus most often served with veggie sticks and crackers (try these Seedy Wholemeal Crackers which are also dairy and egg free so perfect for allergies) as my go to. You could also serve this hummus on wraps or sandwiches. I also really enjoy this Honey Roasted Carrot Hummus on toast with fresh tomatoes. Such a great start to the day. This would also be amazing served with roasted lamb.
You can also top this hummus with roasted pinenuts, paprika or fresh lemon thyme. I roasted some extra carrots to top the hummus and drizzled a little bit more olive oil on top too.

This is the best hummus I’ve ever made! I’ve made it twice this week and it’s disappeared within 24 hours both times. The best way of getting chickpeas and some extra Veges into everybody. (the only change I made was switching tahini with peanut butter because there’s no allergies in our house and I’m not a fan of tahini)
Ah yay! Thanks so much for letting me know 🙂 we love this one too. You have actually made me really hungry for it now! Bernadette x
