Prepare the Carrots.
Wash the carrots thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin. Then, cut the carrots into sticks about 3-4 inches long and approximately 1/2 inch thick. Try to keep the sticks uniform in size for even eating.
Tip: If you prefer, you can also use baby carrots to save time. -
Portion the Hummus.
Measure out 50 grams of hummus using a kitchen scale or roughly 3 tablespoons if you don't have a scale. Place the hummus in a small bowl or serving dish.
Tip: If you like, sprinkle a pinch of paprika or drizzle some olive oil on top for extra flavor. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Arrange the carrot sticks neatly on a plate alongside the bowl of hummus. Use the carrot sticks to dip into the hummus and enjoy your healthy snack.
Tip: For added crunch, you can chill the carrot sticks in the fridge before serving.
Pro tips
- Use fresh, firm carrots for the best crunch.
- Homemade hummus can be made by blending chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt.
