1. 01

   Broil the Zucchini

   Preheat your broiler. Slice enough fresh zucchini to yield 1 cup once broiled. Arrange the zucchini pieces on a baking sheet.

   Broil for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini is tender and has some nice charred spots. Set it aside to cool completely.

2. 02

   Blend the Hummus

   In a food processor, combine the contents of the can of hummus, 1 1/4 cups chickpeas, 2 minced garlic cloves, the juice of 1 lemon, and half of the 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.

   Process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Season with a good pinch of salt to taste.

3. 03

   Incorporate Additions

   Gently fold the cooled, broiled zucchini and 1/3 cup Parmesan into the creamy hummus base. Stir until everything is just combined and the zucchini pieces are evenly distributed. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if it needs a little more salt or lemon.
4. 04

   Present the Dip

   Transfer the Grilled Zucchini Parmesan Hummus to your serving bowl. Drizzle generously with the remaining extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes right before serving.
