Cricket powder lends a nutty flavor to this hummus that compliments the sesame and hemp. Plus, it provides an extra punch of protein.
Technique tip: Add extra lemon juice or water to achieve the desired texture.
Swap option: You can use coconut oil instead of olive oil. If you can't find Sri Lankan roasted curry, use regular curry powder.
