Ingredients:

For the Hummus Base:

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt, to taste

For the Spiralized Vegetables:

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 medium beet

For Toppings:

  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 small radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds or crushed pistachios
  • Fresh microgreens or basil leaves


Instructions:

  1. Make the Hummus:

    • In a blender or food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency. Set aside.

  2. Spiralize the Vegetables:

    • Using a spiralizer, create long, thin spirals of zucchini, carrot, and beet. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a julienne peeler or slice the vegetables into thin strips.

  3. Assemble the Bowl:

    • Spread a generous layer of hummus in a wide, shallow bowl, creating a smooth, circular base.
    • Arrange the spiralized vegetables on top of the hummus in neat, overlapping nests. Alternate the zucchini, carrot, and beet spirals for a dynamic and colorful look.

  4. Add Toppings:

    • Nestle cherry tomato halves and radish slices between the vegetable spirals. Scatter pomegranate seeds over the bowl for bursts of color and sweetness.

  5. Finish with Garnishes:

    • Drizzle olive oil lightly over the hummus and vegetables. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or crushed pistachios for crunch. Garnish with fresh microgreens or basil leaves for an herbal note.


Tips for Success:

  • For vibrant and crisp spirals, use firm, fresh vegetables.
  • Customize the hummus by adding roasted garlic, smoked paprika, or a drizzle of chili oil for extra flavor.


This Spiralized Veggie Bowl with Hummus is a true celebration of fresh, wholesome ingredients. With its artistic presentation and vibrant flavors, it’s the perfect dish to elevate your meal and impress your guests.
