How to Make Homemade Chipotle Hummus
Tips for Perfect Homemade Hummus Recipes
- Getting those skins off your chickpeas isn't essential, but will make for a smooth hummus! Be sure to microwave them with baking soda to loosen the skins.
- Be sure to save some of that chickpea liquid! Instead of adding water I used the liquid to help get that smooth texture.
- It's not hummus without something to dip it in! I recommend serving with fresh veggies or pita. It's even better if you can make your own homemade pita!
Let’s Talk Substitutions
Now, it’s not going to give you the same experience, but if you’re having trouble finding Chipotle with Adobe sauce, smoked paprika would be a substitute! Start with 1 tsp and add more as needed. If you don’t have any tahini, then almond butter can be used instead. Lastly, if you don’t have any olive oil, then you could use avocado oil, or canola if needed (but we don’t like canola as much).
Why You'll Love It
- You’ll love homemade chipotle hummus for its awesome flavour. The smoky, spicy kick from chipotle peppers mixes perfectly with the creamy, nutty taste of chickpeas. It’s a great dip for fresh veggies, pita bread, or even as a spread on sandwiches. Making it at home means you get fresh ingredients and can tweak the heat just the way you like it. Enjoy a healthy, protein-packed snack that adds some fun to any meal or hangout.
What to Serve with Homemade Hummus
Obviously, we know you can’t go wrong with fresh veggies. Cucumbers, carrots, peppers, cauliflower you name it- it will be good! Now, if you’re looking to go the extra mile Sweet Simple Vegan’s homemade pita bread recipe is to DIE FOR. Not only did my boyfriend and I make it once, but twice in one weekend because we were inhaling them with the hummus! They are the pitas I used in the photos you saw above, and although they are a bit of work they are SO good. I recommend just doubling the recipe to start 😏.
