6 ounces by volume fresh lemon juice

Ingredients
steps
- Coat the carrots with olive oil and roast at 400 degrees until fork tender. Set aside. Drain your chickpeas, reserving the liquid for later use.
- Using a food processor, blend in batches the carrots and chickpeas together, using the reserved 4 ounces of Aqua Faba to help loosen the mixture in the food processor. Once blended, transfer to a large metal bowl. Add tahini, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and olive oil, using a whisk to combine.
- Set the prepared hummus aside, and refrigerate for a minimum of 6hrs.
Plating:
- Using a large metal spoon, scoop the hummus onto a serving platter of your choice, making sure to make a “well” in the center of the hummus.
- You can surround your hummus with anything you want to dip. The Citizen uses crudités or raw vegetables like cucumbers, radishes, peppadew peppers, mixed olives, etc.
