Ingredients

2 medium to large carrots, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger*
1/4 cup dried apricots
1 (13-15 oz.) can white beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup tahini (ground sesame seed)**
1 lemon, juiced
¼ cup Sriracha hot sauce (or more or less, depending on spicy preference)
salt and pepper, to taste
2-3 tablespoons water

Instructions

In a food processor or blender, add the carrots, garlic, ginger and apricots and blend until finely minced.
Add the remaining ingredients except for water, and blend until smooth.
Add one tablespoon of water at a time until hummus reaches desired consistency.
Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with additional sriracha sauce, sesame seeds and poppy seeds, if desired. Enjoy with your favorite chip, cracker, or bread or use as a spread or salad topping.

Notes

*For fresh ginger, I like to use Dorot Gardens frozen herb cubes, found in the freezer section of your grocery store. You can also substitute the fresh ginger with 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.

**Tahini is found in most all grocery stores, Target and Walmart. It is typically located near peanut and almond butter.
