Ingredients

• 1 large zucchini, about 1 lb
• 1/4 cup roasted tahini
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp grapeseed oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp kosher sea salt

Directions

1. Heat grill or griddle to high.
2. Trim and thinly slice the zucchini; remove only large, moist seeds.
3. Coat with oil and grill until lightly browned and starting to soften. Cool slightly.
4. Blend zucchini with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika and salt for about 1 minute, until smooth.
5. Serve immediately or chill; the hummus thickens as it chills. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
