Prepare the Carrots.
Wash the carrots thoroughly under cold running water. Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin. Cut the peeled carrots into sticks about 3-4 inches long and around 1/2 inch thick to make them easy to dip.
Tip: If you prefer, you can buy pre-cut carrot sticks to save time. -
Prepare the Celery.
Wash the celery stalks under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim off the ends and cut the celery into sticks similar in size to the carrot sticks, about 3-4 inches long.
Tip: If the celery strings bother you, peel them off with a vegetable peeler for a smoother texture. -
Portion the Hummus.
Measure 4 tablespoons (about 56 grams) of hummus using a spoon or a kitchen scale. Place the hummus in a small bowl or serving dish for easy dipping.
Tip: If you like, garnish the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Arrange the carrot and celery sticks on a plate around the bowl of hummus. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh crunchiness of the vegetables with the creamy hummus dip.
Tip: For a fun presentation, alternate the carrot and celery sticks in a circle around the hummus bowl.
Pro tips
- Keep the vegetable sticks in cold water if preparing ahead to maintain crispness.
- Use fresh, high-quality hummus or make your own for the best flavor and texture.
