Revitalize your hair from the inside out with this hummus recipe. It relies heavily on carrots, a winter root vegetable rich in beta-carotene, which helps the body produce keratin, a building block of healthy hair.
Ingredients:
1 pound carrots, rinsed
3/4 cup cooked garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop carrots into large chunks. Toss in two teaspoons olive oil and lightly salt. Roast for about 30 minutes, until carrots are fork-tender. Set aside until cool enough to work with.
Using a blender or food processor, add the garbanzo beans, two tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, sesame seeds, garlic, all spices and salt.
Once the carrots have cooled, add them to the blender or food processor. Pulse or blend until combined. Have the olive oil on hand if you need to add more because the consistency is too thick.
Garnish with paprika or fresh parsley. Serve with crackers, bread or tortilla chips or spread on a sandwich.
