Green No-Bean Hummus


Prep Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Servings: 4


This very exciting green hummus alternative is made with zucchini that is salted and charred to bring out the flavor. It is one of my all-time favorite dips! It's easy to digest, keto-friendly, and delicious!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 and half pounds zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves crushed garlic
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • half lemon, juiced, plus more to taste
  • 6 basil leaves, sliced
  • quarter teaspoon ground black pepper
  • quarter teaspoon cumin
  • 1 pinch cayenne

  • DIRECTIONS

    Step 1
    Trim ends from zucchini and cut into quarters. Trim out seeds if zucchini are really big. Cut into 1 and half-inch pieces and add to a bowl. Toss thoroughly with 2 tablespoons kosher salt and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through.

    Step 2
    Transfer zucchini to a strainer and rinse off salt very thoroughly. Let drain well before transferring to a bowl.

    Step 3
    Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.

    Step 4
    Toss zucchini with 2 tablespoons olive oil, toss, and spread out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure zucchini pieces touch each other.

    Step 5
    Toss zucchini with 2 tablespoons olive oil, toss, and spread out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure zucchini pieces touch each other.

    Step 6
    Transfer zucchini to a strainer and let drain until cooled to room temperature, about 45 minutes.

    Step 7
    Combine drained zucchini, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, basil, half teaspoon salt, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne in a blender. Blend until smooth, and taste for seasoning. You can also use an immersion blender.

    Step 8
    For best flavor, cover and chill the hummus before serving.
