carrot & hummus snack pack

Name: carrot & hummus snack pack
Prep time: 15 min
Yield: 2
Cuisine: Middle-Eastern
Ingredients: 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks; 1 clove garlic; 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed; 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice; 2 tbsp tahini; 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp ground cumin; 2-3 tbsp water (as needed)

👨‍🍳 Chefy Tip: Peel the carrots — the skin is bitter and blocks the sweet juice inside. Blend the hummus in bursts, pause, scrape the bowl, then blend again. Consistency is what separates good from great.
