This creamy and delicious Low-FODMAP roasted zucchini dip is the perfect alternative to hummus. It’s vegan, low-carb, and paleo too.

If you love hummus but find that sometimes hummus doesn’t love you back, you’re in the right place. I adore beans and lentils but most of the time struggle with them, so I wanted to come up with a tasty alternative to hummus. Something with a similar texture but without all the unwanted side effects for sensitive stomachs. At first, I considered using eggplant, since I grew up eating loads of babaganoush, but the way my mom used to make it took far longer than I was willing to work with at that moment. Enter this simple creamy zucchini low-carb dip.

It’s a wonderful hummus substitution and ideal for anyone who struggles with gut issues or following a low-FODMAP diet, candida diet, or a low-carb or keto lifestyle. Essentially this is a low-FODMAP hummus, keto hummus or whatever you want to call it! It is also fantastic if you’re following an estrogen-dominance diet.

This zucchini dip is incredibly easy to make too and all you need are a few ingredients. So let’s get right to it.

Let’s Make It

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2. Add diced zucchini, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp cumin, garlic clove, and 1/4 tsp salt, lemon juice, and toss everything together on a sheet pan. Roast the zucchini for 20-25 minutes (or until it is soft) stirring once or twice to make sure it doesn’t stick.

Step 3. Add roasted zucchini to a food processor along with tahini, 1 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp salt, and oregano, and start the food processor and puree the mix. Check for seasoning and thickness. Add a little more olive oil as you puree if it needs it, being careful not to make the mixture too mushy.

Step 4. Serve warm or cold with vegetables, gluten-free crackers, or anything else you’d like.
