How to make Zucchini Hummus
Cut the ends off of one pound of zucchini, about 2 medium sized. Cut in half lengthwise and then in half again, creating four long spears out of each zucchini.
Place the zucchini in a large casserole dish and lightly coat with olive oil and kosher salt. Transfer to a half-sheet pan and place in a preheated 425° oven. Bake for 35 minutes or until very tender.
Remove the zuchhini from the oven and place in a blender with the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice and salt. Puree all of the ingredients together until they are smooth.
Use the zucchini hummus as a dip with vegetables or flatbread, or as a spread for burgers, wraps and sandwiches.
