Hummus & Roasted Carrot Salad — A Simple Chickpea Breakfast

Hummus
Chickpeas are a nutritious food that can be a great addition to almost anyone’s diet.
They may not be a traditional ingredient in Korean cuisine, but they’re delicious cooked into rice or tossed into all kinds of salads.
Their mild, subtle flavor makes them incredibly versatile and easy to pair with other ingredients.
Today, I’m sharing one of the most popular ways to enjoy chickpeas: hummus.
.
When making homemade soup, the process of cooking the ingredients and then blending everything until smooth can feel a little time-consuming.
But the extra effort is worth it. The rich flavor and nourishing ingredients keep me coming back to homemade soups, even when I’m feeling a little lazy.
Hummus is much the same.
You need to cook the chickpeas until tender, let them cool slightly, and then blend them until smooth.
It takes a little extra effort, but once you taste homemade hummus, it’s hard not to make it again.
