Roasted Avocado and Sesame Oil Hummus (Gluten Free)

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. I have an inspirational story and a recipe for y’all in this week’s kitchen segment. Y’all have met my daughter at KitchenBelleicious.com. We’ve featured her delicious food many times. Well, life has thrown Jessica Ann a curve ball. She’s been diagnosed with Celiac, an autoimmune disease that damages the lining of the small intestine and prevents it from absorbing parts of food that are important for staying healthy.  Jessica realizes there are worse things that learning to live gluten free – but– but for a foodie who lives to cook and loves to share her great dishes, the initial blow was tough. But, here’s the inspirational part. Jessica has regrouped and she’s determined to knock this curve ball out of the park. Jessica has made a commitment to the followers of her popular food blog: She’ll take her recipes gluten free—and they’ll still be Belleicious for one and all. If you or someone you know is gluten intolerant or has been diagnosed with celiac, bookmark kitchenbelleicious.com. You’ll be glad you did! (Right now, you’ll see that she has you covered for your Super Bowl party!) And now—let’s whip up Jessica’s first revamped dish.

“Roasted Avocado and Sesame Oil Hummus (Gluten Free)”

1 large avocado

1 can drained chickpeas

1/2 tsp salt and pepper each

1 lime, juiced

1 tsp Devo toasted sesame seed oil

1/8 cup olive oil or more depending on desired consistency

1/2 tsp garlic powder

We’ll begin by cutting an avocado into quarters, discarding the stone and peeling it. We’ll drizzle it with olive oil, season it with salt and pepper and bake it for about 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Remove and allow it to cool. Meanwhile, we’ll drain a can of chickpeas and put ‘em in the food processor with a teaspoon of toasted sesame seed oil, and an 1/8 cup of olive oil. We’ll season with salt, pepper, the juice of one lime and a ½ tsp of garlic powder. Pulse a few more times and add the cooled and roasted avocado. Pulse again, adding a little more olive oil if necessary until the hummus is nice and smooth. Serve with your favorite chip or cracker—gluten free if you need to, and enjoy! Roasted Avocado and Sesame Oil Hummus, that’s delicious gluten free snacking from the fearless Ms. Belleicious!  (Okay, I admit it. I’m a little proud of that girl!)
