These Hummus Crudité Cups are served in little glass cups layered with rich, garlicky hummus and surrounded by crisp, colorful veggies. It’s exactly the kind of appetizer that makes people forget about the chip bowl entirely.
You’re going to love these hummus cups because they take a snack you already adore and turn it into the prettiest, most party-ready presentation. Serving it in individual cups means no double-dipping and no awkward shared bowl, which makes it perfect for any kind of gathering.
Helpful Tips
- Boil canned chickpeas first: Simmering canned chickpeas in water for about ten minutes before blending softens them further, which gives your hummus an extra creamy, smooth texture.
- Cut veggies for dipping ease: Slice your crudités into long, sturdy pieces that fit easily into the cups, since thin or short pieces can be tricky to scoop hummus with.
- Assemble close to serving time: Spoon the hummus into the cups shortly before your guests arrive, since the fresh-cut vegetables stay crisp and vibrant longer when they aren’t sitting in the cups for hours.
