Ingredients
- Baby carrots 1.5 cups
- Hummus 1/3 cup
Method
-
Prepare the carrots.
If your baby carrots are not pre-washed, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. This removes any dirt and ensures they are fresh and crisp.
Tip: If you prefer, you can peel regular carrots and cut them into sticks similar in size to baby carrots. -
Portion the hummus.
Spoon out 1/3 cup (about 82 grams) of hummus into a small bowl or serving dish. This makes it easy to dip your carrots and keeps the hummus neat.
Tip: If you like, sprinkle a pinch of paprika or drizzle a little olive oil on top of the hummus for extra flavor. -
Serve and enjoy.
Arrange the baby carrots around the bowl of hummus or on a plate. Use the carrots to scoop up the hummus and enjoy your healthy snack immediately.
Tip: For a fun presentation, you can add some fresh herbs like parsley or a few olives alongside.
Pro tips
- Choose fresh, firm baby carrots for the best crunch.
- If you want to make your own hummus, blend canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt until smooth.
