No-Bean Roasted Carrot Hummus

25 Jan

Beans beans the magical fruit…But beans have no place in this magical recipe! A bean-less hummus you ask? Yep, and you’ll never miss ’em. Take your traditional thoughts on hummus and throw them out the window, because this no-bean roasted carrot hummus is the most beanless-tastic dip you’ll ever eat.

Pin It!

Roasted carrots and caramelized cauliflower with a tahini base makes the best beanless hummus. Slightly sweet and a little smoky - the perfect whole30 party snack!

Hummus is one of those things I ate WAAAAAY too much in my early 20’s. In fact, at times the smell has made me gag. Have you ever done that to yourself? Discovered this amazing, best food ever/must-eat-it-all-the-time until you completely overdo it and never want to look at it again? This has only happened to me a few times in life. Hummus being one. Goldschlager being the other (Ugh college. Seriously why?!)

It wasn’t until my husband and I tried a carrot hummus at our favorite pre-baby restaurants (back when we could go out whenever we felt like it), that I allowed hummus to find a place back into my heart. This restaurant was a pizza joint, that served carrot hummus. Like, WHAAA?! You KNOW that hummus must be good stuff when they have it on the menu at a pizza place. And it was good. GOOD good. Like sometimes we’d go there just for the hummus kind of good.

This no bean hummus is a wonderful paleo, vegan, and whole30 Super Bowl snack!

One cross-country move, one baby, and a few years later, I forgot about our favorite creamy dip. Until one day it hit me – I must make our old fav. But even better, I must make it for all my paleo and Whole30 peeps…aka sans the beans. It was a task that wouldn’t be easy, but I was up for the challenge.

You’ll never miss the beans with this no-bean roasted carrot hummus. Let me convince you.

Roasting the carrots gives this bean-less hummus such a complex, slightly sweet taste, and combined with roasted caramelized cauliflower, nutty tahini, and the classic components of traditional hummus? A killer combination that rivals the regular garbanzo bean stuff.

A super simple, veggie-packed, no bean hummus that will be your new favorite!This easy no bean hummus will be your new favorite hummus. The roasted carrots give it a complex, sweet flavor you'll love!

What I also love about this hummus (aside that it’s delicious on raw vegetables, chips, chicken, and my finger), is the light texture. Kiss the old paste-like hummus goodbye and replace it with this airy, fluffy, whipped goodness.

Whole30, paleo, vegan hummus. Made with roasted carrots, caramelized cauliflower, and tahini.

When traditional hummus has you feeling same ol, same ol – give THIS version a whirl!

    Wow I am obsessed with this, what a great idea!!! I also eat hummus way more than I should but have been trying to avoid legumes which makes eating hummus a little hard… haha! Now I can have hummus without eating beans. This will be next on my list of things to make 🙂

      Exactly my thoughts as Superbowl is fast approaching. There will be plenty of naughty snacks, so this is a nice change of pace. But no one has to know it’s super light and healthy 🙂 Thanks Denay! PS roasted is where it’s AT!

    Yum, yum, yum! I love hummus, but I definitely go through phases where I lay off of it for awhile because I feel like I’ve had too much. 🙂 Obviously you can relate.

    I bet the roasted carrots give this dip such a great sweetness (which is always a good idea in my opinion). Looks delicious!

    The recipe calls for 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil, divided and then there is an additional 2 Tablespoons in the ingredients. Is this an error or is there a step missing from the recipe?

      March 27, 2016 at 4:19 pm

      Oh my goodness GREAT catch! Do you want to be my copy editor pretty please? 😉 I fixed it. 4 tablespoons divided = 2 for roasting the carrots and the other two to add to the hummus ingredients for blending. Does that make sense? Thanks SO much Kim!
