How to prepare oven roasted carrots
Basically, I’m not very fond of cooked carrots. However, oven roasted carrots are an exception because roasting them in the oven gives them a nice, slightly crispy texture and a caramelized flavor.
Plus, like all oven cooked vegetables, oven roasted carrots are super quick and easy to prepare. To do this, simply cover them well with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet covered with either a baking mat, which is more ecological because it can be reused, or with parchment paper.
You can then add spices like cumin and/or coriander powder or herbs like thyme or rosemary. Then bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 180 °C. And that’s it!

How to make homemade hummus ?
For this recipe, you can choose to buy a ready-made hummus to save time. In this case, I advise you to look carefully at the list of ingredients and avoid choosing hummus with too much sugar or salt.
And of course, I recommend making your own homemade hummus! A while back, I posted my favorite recipe forHomemade Hummus without Garlic. Why without garlic? Because I like to eat hummus for breakfast and so I prefer not to add garlic to it. Also, the garlic is sometimes too present and hides the sweetness of the chickpeas.
