TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this fresh veggie sticks with hummus recipe.

  • Choose Fresh Veggies: Crisp, firm carrots and cucumbers make the best dippers.
  • Enhance The Flavour: Sprinkle a dash of paprika or cumin on the hummus for added depth.
  • Make It More Filling: Pair with whole-grain crackers for a heartier snack.
  • Mess-Free Dipping: Portion out the hummus into small containers for easy grab-and-go snacks.
  • Chilled Refreshment: Store pre-cut veggies in cold water in the fridge for extra crunch.
  • Customise The Hummus: Try flavoured hummus like roasted red pepper or garlic-infused for variety.

VARIATIONS

  • Nut-Free Alternative: Swap hummus for dairy-free tzatziki or guacamole.
  • Extra Protein: Add a handful of roasted chickpeas for an extra crunch.
  • Spicy Kick: Serve with spicy sriracha hummus for added heat.
  • Cheese Addition: Pair with feta or cottage cheese for a creamy touch.
  • Herb Boost: Garnish with fresh dill or parsley for extra flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Short-Term Storage: Store pre-cut carrot and cucumber sticks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Prevent Drying Out: Wrap veggie sticks in a damp paper towel to keep them crisp.
  • Travel-Friendly: Pack the hummus separately to avoid soggy vegetables.
  • Freezing Not Recommended: The water content in cucumbers and carrots makes freezing unsuitable, as they will become mushy when thawed.
