Vegetable Hummus Cups

How to Prepare

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if using phyllo dough cups; otherwise, skip this step.
2. If making homemade phyllo or wonton cups, cut dough into small squares and press into a mini muffin tin. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool.
3. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and cumin. Blend until smooth, adding water if needed to reach desired consistency.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
5. Finely chop the assorted vegetables (cucumber, bell peppers, carrots) into small pieces for topping.
6. Spoon or pipe the hummus into the prepared cups.
7. Top each cup with a small amount of chopped vegetables for color and crunch.
8. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
9. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
