Zucchini Hummus Raw Or Roasted Recipes

ZUCCHINI HUMMUS: RAW OR ROASTED

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler.
• Rinse and dry the zucchini and cut them lengthwise down the center.
• Place the zucchini, face down, on a baking sheet that has been prepared by greasing it or covering it with parchment paper. Place in the oven under the broiler for around 8-10 minutes.
• Flip the zucchini over so that the skin faces down, and return to the oven for another 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and cut into chunks. If you'll be using a food processor with a plastic container, allow the zucchini to cool slightly before proceeding.
• Rinse and dry the zucchini and peel them. (Peeling is optional.)
• Cut the zucchini into medium-sized chunks.
• Add the zucchini (prepared as shown above) to a food processor along with the juice of 1/2 a lemon and all of the other ingredients except for the red pepper.
• Process until smooth.
• Taste the zucchini hummus, and adjust it to suit your taste by adding extra salt, spices, or lemon if desired.
• If you'd like to serve both types of zucchini hummus, remove half of the hummus from the food processor before proceeding.
• Add in a few strips of roasted red pepper (around 1/2 of a pepper) to the rest, blending until smooth.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the zucchini on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt; mix well and spread to 1 layer. Roast until browned and very tender, about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• 2. Warm the pita on a grill or griddle until nicely toasted, but still soft, and spread each with 1 heaping tablespoon hummus. Top each piece with 1 tablespoon crumbled goat cheese, 1/4 of the roasted zucchini, about 1/2 cup baby arugula, and 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped almonds. Serve with a lemon wedge.
