Method

Prepare the Carrots.
Start by washing the carrots thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Then peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler. After peeling, cut the carrots into sticks about 3 to 4 inches long and about 1/2 inch thick. This size is perfect for dipping.
Tip: If you prefer, you can also use baby carrots to save time. -
Measure the Hummus.
Spoon 1/4 cup (approximately 62 grams) of hummus into a small bowl or serving dish. If you are using store-bought hummus, give it a quick stir to mix any separated liquid back in.
Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of paprika or drizzle a little olive oil on top of the hummus. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Arrange the carrot sticks neatly around the bowl of hummus on a plate. This makes it easy to dip and enjoy. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and crunch.
Tip: If you want to prepare ahead, keep the carrot sticks in water in the fridge to maintain their crispness.
Pro tips
- For a creamier hummus, warm it slightly before serving.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the hummus for a fresh, tangy twist.
