Author Notes
For me, the perfect lunch is quite simple. Give me some pita and a hearty hummus or purée and I couldn’t be more content. In this carrot-based spread, aromatic spices add savoriness and depth without overshadowing the sweet simplicity of the roasted carrots.
It’s the perfect condiment to make early in the week and use with sandwiches, salads, grain bowls, or enjoy on its own with flatbread and a hearty glug of your best olive oil.
Feel free to replace carrots with 3/4 lb of whatever root vegetable you’ve got on hand. —Anna Claire
