Smoky Carrot Dip

Smoky carrot dip

INGREDIENTS

½ almonds

1 kg carrots, trimmed, peeled

2 Tbsp, plus ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

2½ tsp salt

2 garlic cloves

½ cup canned chickpeas

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

2 tsp smoked paprika

½ cup coarsely chopped parsley

plus leaves for serving
METHOD
STEP 1 ● Preheat oven to 180°. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing halfway through, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 8–10 minutes. Let cool; set aside.
STEP 2 ● Cut any thick carrots in half lengthwise, then slice all carrots crosswise into 4 pieces. Toss on a parchment-lined baking sheet with 2 Tbsp. oil and 1 tsp. salt. Spread carrots out evenly on baking sheet and roast, stirring once or twice, until very tender and starting to shrivel and brown (but not char), about 1 hour.
STEP 3 ● Transfer carrots to a food processor; add garlic, chickpeas, lemon juice, smoked paprika, chopped parsley, ½ cup oil, 1½ tsp. salt, and reserved almonds. Process, adding more oil as needed, until mixture is almost completely smooth. Taste dip and add more lemon juice and/or salt if needed.
STEP 4 ● Transfer dip to a small bowl, and top with parsley leaves.
