Roasted Zucchini Hummus


  • Author: Quelcy Kogel

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large zucchini (14 oz)
  • ¼ cup avocado oil, divided 
  • ½ tsp sea salt (or more), to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper (or more), to taste 
  • 1/4 cup tahini sesame paste 
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice 
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with avocado oil, reserving enough oil for the zucchini. 
  2. Cut the zucchini into strips or rounds. Arrange the zucchini evenly on the pan, and brush with the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned on top, flipping the zucchini halfway through for more even cooking. Remove from the oven and cool. 
  3. To make the hummus, add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. For a thinner consistency, add water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
  4. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
