Roasted Vegetable Hummus Recipes

ROASTED VEGETABLE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. Cut one-fourth off top of bulb of garlic; drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Wrap bulb in foil. Place eggplant and bell pepper on cookie sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil over vegetables; toss to coat. Place wrapped garlic on cookie sheet.
• Roast uncovered 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Cool 10 minutes. Remove peel from eggplant and red pepper. Cut peeled vegetables into small pieces.
• In food processor with metal blade, place chickpeas. Cover; process until smooth. Squeeze pulp from garlic bulb into food processor. Add roasted vegetables, tahini paste, lemon juice, salt and paprika. Cover; process until blended. With food processor running, gradually pour remaining oil through feed tube; process until smooth, stopping twice to scrape down sides. Spoon into serving bowl. Serve immediately with vegetables or refrigerate until serving time.

ROASTED VEGETABLE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the eggplant, bell pepper, onion and tomatoes in a bowl with the tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Spread them in one layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30 to 40 minutes until the vegetables are very lightly browned and soft.
• Cool slightly and measure out 2 cups for this dish. Save any remaining roasted vegetables for another recipe, such as on a pizza for your lunch.
• In a food processor, place 2 cups cooked garbanzo beans, garlic, sesame tahini and 4 tablespoons olive oil.
• Process until the beans and garlic are almost completely ground.
• Add 2 heaping cups of the roasted vegetables to the processor along with the cumin, olives, salt and cayenne pepper. You can add more or less cayenne to suit your family's taste buds; I usually add at least another 1/4 teaspoon to ours.
• Process until almost smooth, leaving some texture and small bits of the roasted vegetables and olives showing through.
• Add more olive oil or some vegetable broth if you want to thin it out a bit.
• Taste for salt and pepper.
• Serve at room temperature.

ROAST VEGETABLE HUMMUS WITH ZHOUG

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 and put a roasting tin on the middle shelf to heat up.
• Put the butternut squash, red onion and pepper in a large bowl, along with the butternut squash seeds and half a tin of the chickpeas. Drizzle over some oil, season with salt and pepper and toss everything together. Tip into the preheated roasting tin and shake into an even layer. Roast for 50 minutes, giving everything a stir halfway through.
• Meanwhile, to make the zhoug, put all the ingredients into a jug and add a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a stick blender to blend to a smooth purée.
• To make the hummus, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the roasted squash, red onion and red pepper and put them into a bowl or large jug. Add the remaining chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic and cumin. Season with salt and pepper, then use a stick blender to blend to a smooth purée, adding a splash of water to loosen if needed. You could also do this in a blender.
• Spoon the hummus onto a plate, top with the remaining roast vegetable mixture, then the zhoug. Serve with baked chapatis or flatbreads.

ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH ROASTED PEPPER HUMMUS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• In food processor, place chickpeas. Cover; process with quick on-and-off motions until smooth, adding enough reserved liquid (about 1/4 cup) to make a creamy mixture. Add roasted peppers, vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil and the garlic; process until smooth. If desired, season with salt to taste. Spoon into serving bowl. Let stand 30 minutes to blend flavors, or cover and refrigerate until serving time.
• In large bowl, toss vegetables with 1 tablespoon oil to coat evenly. Arrange in ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan; sprinkle with seasoned salt.
• Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Serve warm vegetables with hummus as a dip, or refrigerate vegetables at least 8 hours or overnight and serve with hummus.
