Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish, optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and trim the ends. If desired, peel the zucchini for a smoother texture, but leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients.
Roughly chop the zucchinis into smaller pieces for easier blending.
In a food processor or blender, add the chopped zucchini, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil if desired for your preferred flavor and consistency.
Transfer the zucchini hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. Sprinkle with paprika and fresh parsley for garnish, if using.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. Alternatively, refrigerate for 1-2 hours to chill before serving.
