How to make keto hummus?

Hummus is traditionally made with chickpeas. But remember that chickpeas contain about 61g of carbs per 100g.  Keto dieters can still personalize this vegetarian Mediterranean dish by replacing the chickpeas with zucchini, a low carb alternative with only 3g of carbs per 100g.  Here is how you can prepare your keto hummus:

Ingredients you’ll need:

  • Zucchinis
  • Tahini
  • Olive oil
  • Ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper 

Preparation steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C.
  • Cut the zucchini into halves and place them in a baking pan.
  • Spread olive oil, salt, and pepper on the top.
  • Roast the zucchinis for about 10mins. 
  • Combine the roasted zucchinis with the other ingredients in a food processor and blend until you obtain a compact consistency.
  • Add olive oil and salt to taste.  Let it cool in the fridge and enjoy!
