In a large bowl, add chickpeas, water, tahini, sesame oil, salt, garlic powder and black pepper; mash with a potato masher until spread of desired consistency forms. I like mine with chunks of chickpeas. Add carrots, mix well and add red pepper flake or Tabasco to taste (I left it out to keep spread kid friendly).To serve, spread on whole grain bread (toasted) or tortilla, top with a few tomato slices and arugula.Storage Instructions: refrigerate spread in a glass container for up to a week.
