A quick and tasty toddler friendly Spicy Hummus recipe without any added salt or sugar that is entirely safe for young ones!

Feeding hummus and paprika to toddlers can have a number of benefits. Firstly, both hummus and paprika are rich in fiber and protein, which can help toddlers stay full for longer and prevent them from experiencing hunger pains in between meals. Both hummus and paprika contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and zinc, as well as many other essential nutrients, which can help support a toddler’s growing body. Hummus is also relatively low in fat, making it a great addition to a toddler’s diet, as it can hel p maintain a healthy weight.

Additionally, the spice in the paprika can help toddlers discover the joys of a variety of flavors, which can help them have more adventurous taste buds as they get older. This spice is also thought to have anti-inflammatory benefits and can help improve circulation, which may be helpful for toddlers who are more active than many preschoolers and school-age children. Finally, hummus and paprika are fairly easy to prepare and do not require complex recipes or a lot of time, so they can be an ideal snack choice for busy parents and toddlers alike.

Ingredients

• 2 cloves of garlic
• ½ teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon of sweet paprika powder
• 11 oz. canned chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Juice of a medium lemon

Equipment

• Blender
• Cutting board
• Knife

Instructions

1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients and equipment.

2. First, you need to mince the garlic. Place garlic cloves on cutting board and set the knife flat against the garlic. Slowly press down on the tip of the blade until you have chopped the garlic finely.

3. Next, drain and rinse the chickpeas. When done, lay them out flat on a plate and make sure there’s no stone or dirt still stuck to them!

4. Now, add all the ingredients, minus the olive oil, to your blender.

5. Begin blending ingredients together and slowly pour in the olive oil, this will help to give a creamy texture to the hummus.

6. Blend until your desired texture has been reached, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.

7. While your hummus is blending, why don’t you make a little joke? A blend of garlic and chickpeas? That sounds like a recipe for disaster!

8. Once your hummus has reached a creamy texture, it is ready to eat! Serve with some fresh vegetables or pita bread and enjoy!

Enjoy your Spicy Hummus!
