Ingredients
Start by washing and cutting fresh vegetables into sticks or slices that are easy to dip. Carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers are colorful and packed with vitamins.
Scoop the hummus into a small serving bowl or plate. Use store-bought or homemade hummus—both work great as a creamy, protein-rich base.
Arrange the prepared vegetable sticks around the hummus bowl in a visually appealing way, making it easy for guests or yourself to grab a healthy bite.
For extra flavor, drizzle a little good-quality olive oil over the hummus and sprinkle paprika on top, which adds a smoky, slightly spicy note and extra antioxidants.
If you want a little more variety, include whole grain crackers or pita chips on the side to complement the veggies and hummus.
Chill the platter for about 10 minutes if you prefer a cooler snack, especially refreshing in warm weather.
Serve this nutrient-dense snack anytime you want a quick, anti-inflammatory bite full of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
