Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the carrots with the olive oil, cumin and salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, then turn and add the whole garlic cloves.
- Roast for another 10–15 minutes until the carrots are very tender. Scrape the vegetables and all tray oil into a shallow bowl and cool for 10 minutes.
- Put the drained beans, roasted vegetables, lemon juice and water in a food processor. Process until creamy, pausing to scrape the bowl. Do not blend hot ingredients in a sealed personal blender.
- Divide into eight equal spread portions. Serve with optional accompaniments, which are not included in nutrition. Cover and refrigerate promptly; use within 3–4 days at 40°F (4°C) or below.

Calculation notes & sources
ESTIMATED per serving. Brand, crop, preparation, draining, pan residue and substitutions change actual nutrition. Not laboratory analysis. Raw or dry food profiles match pre-cooking edible masses. All listed oil and retained cooking liquid are counted. Cooking moisture changes do not change the stated portion count. No generic nutrient-retention factor is invented. Calories are kcal; protein, total carbohydrate, fat and total sugar are grams. Total carbohydrate includes fiber and is not net carbohydrate. Fiber and sodium are not displayed. Equal portions define yield; roll/latke/meatball counts are explicitly divided. US/Metric display changes do not change these canonical inputs. Primary-source supplements are retained per ingredient where USDA lacks a field; missing values are never silently changed to zero.
