Ingredients:
6 heirloom carrots, peeled and cut into 5-inch sticks, 1/2-inch thick
3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 5-inch sticks, 1/2-inch thick
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 5-inch sticks, 1/2-inch thick
2 tbsp olive oil
Hummus:
1 can (19 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup tahini paste
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin

Directions:
Hummus: In food processor, blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper until smooth, adding a little water if mixture is too thick.
Preheat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, toss together carrots, parsnips, sweet potato and olive oil; spread in even layer on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Bake, turning once, for 30 to 35 minutes or until just tender and golden brown on the edges.
