INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup chickpeas (for hummus)
0.5 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp tahini
0.5 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tbsp lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1 clove garlic
0.5 cup chickpeas (for topping)
1 tsp mixed dried herbs
1/4 medium cucumber
1 medium carrot
1/2 medium bell pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for the herb-roasted chickpeas.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas designated for the topping. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a bowl, toss the topping chickpeas with a drizzle of olive oil, mixed dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until crisp. Let them cool.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the hummus base chickpeas, Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Arrange the fresh crisp vegetables—sliced cucumber, carrot sticks, and bell pepper slices—on a serving plate.
Spread the lemon-garlic hummus in the center of the plate, and top with the herb-roasted chickpeas.
Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the hummus if desired, and garnish with a sprinkle of extra herbs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
