Vegetable "Volcanoes"
 
Prep time
Total time
 
Serves: about 8-10 depending on size of zucchini
Ingredients
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 small radishes
  • other vegetables and herbs as you like
  • hummus
Instructions
  1. Cut the zucchini lengthwise in thin strips. This is best done with a mandolin, but you can do it as well with your knife or with a peeler. You want the zucchini thin enough to roll but thick enough to hold its shape.
  2. Cut the rest of the vegetables into thin matchstick strips about 1.5-2 inches long. The cut doesn't have to be perfect don't worry.
  3. On a clean work surface lay our your zucchini slices.
  4. Spoon a healthy dollop of hummus on one end of the zucchini. Spread it out so it's covering about ¼-1/3 of the zucchini slice. (Ryan spread it across the whole thing, that works too but it's a bit messier when you take a bite)
  5. Place a bunch of the matchstick vegetables on top of the hummus.
  6. Roll up the zucchini so the vegetables are held in a tight bunch.
  7. Take your spoon and place a little hummus on the inside edge of the zucchini. This is the "glue" that is going to hold your volcano together.
  8. If it's looking a little empty, you can shove in a few more slices of vegetables through the opening in the top. Fill until it's full enough for your liking (but can still hold its shape).
  9. Place on a plate or in your lunch box.
  10. Serve with a napkin, eat and enjoy! Any leftover vegetables dip into the leftover hummus and eat it the old fashioned way.
