A great snack platter for a get-together: Hummus! Since I love the flavor of fried garlic, I made this fried garlic flavored hummus. You can make the hummus as smooth as you like by adding some liquid from the can of chickpeas. This liquid, also called Aquafaba, makes the hummus super smooth.
This hummus was topped with extra fried garlic, cumin spices and dried chili flakes. However, you can also top it with roasted chickpeas or fresh herbs.
