Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by steaming the sliced carrots until they are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. This step ensures the carrots blend smoothly and integrates seamlessly into the hummus.
2. 2.
   In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, softened carrots, tahini, minced garlic, and za'atar seasoning. Starting at a low speed, blend the mixture, gradually increasing the speed to ensure a creamy consistency.
3. 3.
   Blend until the hummus is smooth and well-combined, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. If the mixture appears too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water or olive oil to adjust the texture. The goal is a rich, smooth hummus.
4. 4.
   Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a stronger za'atar flavor, feel free to add an additional sprinkle. The seasoning should be aromatic and slightly nutty, complementing the sweetness of the carrots.
5. 5.
   Serve immediately or let the hummus chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Garnish with a light drizzle of olive oil and extra za'atar before serving, if desired.
