In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.

If the hummus is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Spread the hummus on a serving platter or in a bowl.

Arrange the carrot sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, cherry tomatoes, and pita triangles around the hummus.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley for garnish.
