Chickpea Shawarma Dip

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and add well-drained chickpeas to a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Top with oil, sugar, and spices* and toss to combine. Then spread on a bare or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until deep golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.

Step 3

In the meantime, prepare your sauce by adding all ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisking to combine, only adding enough water or almond milk to thin so it’s pourable. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more garlic for more zing, salt for savoriness, lemon juice for freshness, and dill for a more intense herb flavor. I found mine didn’t need anything else.

Step 4

Lastly, prepare parsley-tomato salad by adding parsley, tomato, and onion to a small mixing bowl and dressing with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss and set aside.

Step 5

To serve, spread hummus on a serving platter and top with roasted chickpeas, parsley salad, and garlic dill sauce. I also love garnishing mine with chili garlic sauce for extra heat! Perfect with pita, naan, pita chips, or veggies of choice.

Step 6

Best when fresh, though leftovers keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days (store hummus, salad, chickpeas, and sauce separately for best results).
