1. Prepare the Hummus

In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, Sriracha, garlic, cumin, paprika, and salt. Pulse the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings if needed. If you want a spicier dip, add more Sriracha, or for a milder version, reduce the amount of sauce.

2. Blend Until Smooth

Continue processing the hummus for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the texture is silky and smooth. You can scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times to help everything blend evenly. The result should be creamy and free of any lumps.

3. Transfer and Serve

Once the hummus is ready, transfer it to a serving bowl. Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top, if desired, and sprinkle with paprika or extra cumin for garnish.

4. Prepare the Veggies

While the hummus is being made, prepare your veggie dippers. Wash and slice the cucumber, bell pepper, and celery, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Arrange the veggies on a platter around the hummus, or serve them in individual bowls for easy dipping.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Serve the spicy Sriracha hummus with the prepared vegetables as a healthy and flavorful snack. It’s perfect for dipping and will definitely stand out as a favorite treat. Enjoy the combination of cool, crunchy veggies with the creamy, spicy hummus!
