10 Hummus Recipes You'll Want to Make Forever
Get out the chips, crackers and crudité for these healthy hummus recipes. This roundup of highly-rated dishes features delicious hummus made with not only chickpeas, but other foods like chocolate, black beans and sweet potatoes. When it comes to our fan-favorite Garlic Hummus, one reader says, “I've been making this for years!” You can also make our Avocado Hummus for something super smooth and creamy.
Classic Hummus
It's easy to make hummus at home with just a few pantry items. Serve drizzled with your best-quality extra-virgin olive oil and chopped parsley. Mop it up with warm whole-wheat pita bread or cut-up vegetables.
Garlic Hummus
This garlic hummus recipe couldn't be easier—just toss a few ingredients in the food processor and whir away!
Avocado Hummus
This vibrant green hummus recipe couldn't be easier—just toss a few ingredients in the food processor and whir away! Aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) and avocado make this healthy dip extra smooth and creamy. Serve with veggie chips, pita chips or crudités.
Pressure-Cooker Hummus
Cooking chickpeas from scratch is the best way to make your own hummus, but it can take hours to soak and cook them yourself. Enter the pressure cooker. Even without an overnight soak, your beans can be done in less than an hour, making this the ultimate last-minute appetizer option.
Black Bean Hummus
For a fun spin on hummus, swap in black beans for the traditional chickpeas. It's just as fiber-rich and filling, but with a taste that pairs well with tortilla chips and crisp bell peppers.
Whipped Hummus
To make this hummus light and airy, we boil canned chickpeas in water with a little baking soda to make them extra soft. Removing the skins from the chickpeas helps achieve a silky-smooth texture. To jazz up the hummus for serving, sprinkle the top with cumin or ground sumac, or drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
Dark Chocolate Hummus
This dessert hummus is an unexpectedly delightful treat that still packs the protein and fiber punch of traditional hummus. Try dipping banana and apple slices, pretzels, strawberries or graham crackers in this sweet, chocolaty spread.
Roasted Beet Hummus
This vibrant hummus recipe couldn't be easier—just toss a few ingredients in the food processor and whir away! Roasted beets make this healthy dip extra flavorful. Serve with veggie chips, pita chips or crudités.
Sweet Potato Hummus
Roasted sweet potato adds earthy sweetness to hummus and gives it an even creamier, smoother texture. Use pimentón, or Spanish smoked paprika, for a hint of fire-grilled flavor, or use sweet paprika for a more subtle spice.
Double-Tahini Hummus
You'll look like an expert with this easy hummus recipe that produces the lightest, silkiest hummus you've ever had. Chilling the cooked chickpeas ensures that when they're blended with the oil and cold tahini the hummus will come out creamy rather than oily. In a pinch, you can use the quick-soak technique (see Step 1), reduce the chilling time and still get great hummus.
