If you have the time, go the extra step and peel the skins off the chickpeas for the hummus. It takes a good 10 minutes but is well worth the extra effort. I’m not sure it’ll be a fun activity for your kiddos but it’ll certainly be a way to keep them busy! If you don’t want to make hummus from scratch, Falafel King makes a great tahini hummus. Hummus should always have tahini, this version just has more.

For flavored hummus, blend in roasted red peppers, olives, etc. For garlic-flavored hummus, I prefer sautéing garlic in olive oil or roasting the garlic then blending it into the hummus. Feel free to throw in a raw clove or two if that’s your jam.
