Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Wash the zucchini, halve lengthwise, and slice.

Drain the chickpeas in a colander and rinse thoroughly under running water until all the foam bubbles disappear. Place the chickpeas on some kitchen paper or a clean tea towel and pat dry gently.

Place chickpeas (with their skins on) and zucchini in a bowl and marinate with oil, spices, and plenty of salt and pepper. Then spread them on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 200°C for about 25 minutes, until the chickpeas are nice and crispy.

Spread the hummus on a large plate. Wash and spin dry the arugula and distribute it over the hummus, then top with the crispy roasted chickpeas and the soft cooked zucchini slices and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Spices First 🔥
Lightly toast the ground cumin, chili powder, and paprika in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to hummus to unlock deeper, more complex flavors that won't taste dusty or raw.
Crisp Chickpeas Require Oil & Seasoning 🥜
Toss dried chickpeas thoroughly with canola oil and season generously before roasting at 425°F for 25-30 minutes, shaking halfway through, to achieve an addictive crunch that won't soften quickly.
Char Your Zucchini for Depth 🔪
Slice zucchini lengthwise and roast cut-side down at high heat until deeply caramelized before cutting into strips; this creates complex, sweet flavors rather than bland steamed vegetables.
Create a Hummus Oil Vortex 🌀
Drizzle high-quality canola oil in a decorative spiral pattern on the hummus platter just before serving and dust with paprika for an Instagram-worthy presentation that also adds rich flavor.
Add Arugula Last for Maximum Peppery Bite 🌿
Toss fresh arugula with a light dressing and add it to the platter only 5-10 minutes before serving to prevent wilting and preserve its peppery, pungent qualities that balance the creamy hummus.
