Place bowls on cookie sheet. Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until brown and firm to the touch. Bowls will crisp as they cool. Remove to cooling rack to cool.

Expert Tips
- Plain hummus is fine, but feel free to experiment with your favorite type – from garlic to roasted red pepper.
- Not a fan of goat cheese? Feta or blue cheese both work well as substitutes.
- Sumac is a tart spice that adds a lemony flavor to Middle Eastern dishes and spice rubs, such as za’atar. Look for it in gourmet stores or online.
