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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Roughly chop the zucchinis into smaller pieces for easier blending.

Step 3

In a food processor or blender, add the chopped zucchini, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Step 5

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil if desired for your preferred flavor and consistency.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. Alternatively, refrigerate for 1-2 hours to chill before serving.
