Ingredients

  • 6 pieces Carrot, fresh

  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 2 pinch Spices, pepper, white

  • 4 pods Garlic, fresh

  • 800 g Chickpea, cooked

  • 0.5 teaspoons Spices, paprika

  • 0.25 teaspoons Spices, cumin seeds

  • 2 spoons Juice, lemon

  • 4 spoon Oil, olive

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Clean and wash the carrots. Peel them if necessary. If you have small carrots, leave them whole; otherwise, cut the carrots into approximately 5 cm pieces.

  2. Line a small deep baking dish with parchment paper. Place the carrots in the dish and spread them evenly across the bottom. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil, and bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting.

  3. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. After 35 minutes of baking, remove the dish with the carrots from the oven, add the garlic, stir, and return the dish to the oven for another 10 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and let the carrots cool.

  4. Drain the chickpeas from the can, rinse under running water, and drain well. In an electric mixer, place the roasted carrots and garlic, and add the drained chickpeas, ground cumin, and ground paprika. Quickly mix the ingredients. While mixing, gradually add olive oil and lemon juice. Continue mixing until you get a smooth spread. If the spread is too thick, add a little water or olive oil. Taste the spread and season with salt if needed.

  5. Serve the prepared spread in a bowl and offer it with slices of homemade bread or crackers.
