How to Make Stovetop Roasted Zucchini Hummus

1. Prep & Roast the Zucchini:

• Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and score the flat side lightly with a knife in a criss-cross pattern.

• Heat a pan over medium-low heat and drizzle a little olive oil.

• Place the zucchini cut side down and roast undisturbed for 10–12 minutes or until charred and cooked through. Remove and cool.

2. Sauté Garlic:

• In the same pan, sauté the garlic cloves in a little oil until golden and aromatic. Cool slightly.

3. Blend the Hummus:

• Scoop out the zucchini flesh with a spoon and add to a blender.

• Add roasted garlic, lemon juice, nuts, olive oil, chili powder, and salt.

• Blend until smooth. Adjust consistency with a splash of water or oil, if needed.

4. Finish & Serve:

• Stir in a dash of sesame oil.

• Serve with crackers, pita, or fresh veggies.

Expert Tips

• Use a non-stick or cast iron pan for better charring.

• For extra smokiness, you can lightly toast the nuts before blending.

• Add a spoon of tahini if you want a more classic hummus note.

• Chill before serving for a thicker, spreadable texture.
