  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp paprika (or to taste)
  • ¼ tsp cumin (or to taste)

Nutritional information

1

Put the chickpeas, lemon juice, yoghurt, oil, spices and garlic in a bowl.

2

Using a hand blender, mix together until smooth.

Make the hummus the previous evening and store in the fridge. As well as saving time, the flavours will have time to develop.

3

Serve with the pitta bread strips and carrot and celery sticks.

Hummus makes a great after-school snack. If you're using a shop-bought hummus, choose a reduced-fat version.
