1

Chop and Prep the Veggies

Start by gathering your favorite veggies for the sticks. Carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers work great, but feel free to get creative! Wash and peel the veggies, then slice them into thin sticks. Set them aside for now.

2

Preheat the Oven and Mix the Seasonings

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it's heating up, grab a mixing bowl and combine your favorite seasonings. We recommend a mix of salt, pepper, paprika, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Give it a good mix to evenly distribute the flavors.

3

Coat the Veggie Sticks

Take your sliced veggie sticks and toss them in the seasoning mix. Make sure each stick gets a generous coating of flavor. The more, the merrier! Spread the seasoned sticks onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are evenly spaced.

4

Bake to Crunchy Perfection

Pop the veggie sticks into the preheated oven and let them bake for about 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as cooking times may vary depending on your oven. Once they turn golden brown and crispy, pull them out and let them cool for a minute or two.

5

Prepare the Creamy Hummus Dip

While the veggie sticks are baking, let's whip up the creamy hummus dip. In a bowl, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Use a blender or food processor to blend until smooth and creamy.

6

Serve and Enjoy!

Transfer the baked veggie sticks onto a serving plate, alongside the creamy hummus dip. The combo of crispy sticks and creamy dip is a match made in snacker's heaven. Grab a stick, dunk it in the hummus, and savor each delicious bite. Enjoy!
