Steps:
- Add baby carrots to food processor and pulse to mince well.
- Add remaining ingredients, except water.
- Process until all vegetables and beans are well blended and creamy. Process less time for a chunkier hummus.
- Add up to a 1/4 cup water, as needed, to create the desired consistency.
- NOTE: The carrots contain a lot of water. The hummus will not dry out as much as hummus usually does when stored. This will keep for about a week in the fridge. I haven't yet tried freezing this recipe.
- VARIATION: Add some dried dill weed, fresh thyme or basil, or another favorite herb. Cayenne pepper, jalapenos, chilis, or tabasco sauce can be added for a spicy version.
- Makes about 3 cups. Six 1/2 cup servings.

Steps:
- Put the chickpeas, tahini and garlic cloves in a food processor and whizz until smooth. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, just-boiled water and Marmite. Whizz again until very smooth. Serve with sticks of carrot, cucumber and pepper and sesame flatbreads.
- For the sesame flatbreads, heat grill to high and dust a non-stick baking sheet with a little flour. Mix the self-raising flour, sesame seeds, a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the natural yogurt and milk or water, then mix well to form a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into 4 and press each piece into an oval approx 5mm thick. Place on the sheet and grill for 3 mins on each side until puffed and golden. Brush with a little olive oil before serving, if you like.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your hummus and carrot sticks. Look for fresh, firm carrots and use high-quality tahini and olive oil.
- Soak your chickpeas overnight: This will help to soften them and make them easier to blend. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a food processor or blender to make your hummus: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take longer and the texture will not be as smooth.
- Season your hummus to taste: Add salt, pepper, garlic, lemon juice, and cumin to taste. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or fresh cilantro.
- Serve your hummus with carrot sticks and other dippers: Carrot sticks are a classic dipper for hummus, but you can also serve it with other vegetables, such as celery, cucumber, or bell pepper. You can also serve it with pita bread or crackers.
Conclusion:
Hummus and carrot sticks are a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect hummus and carrot sticks that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, reach for some hummus and carrot sticks. You won't be disappointed!
