How to Make Easy 4 Homemade Hummus Recipes
Each flavour follows the same instructions! For a list of ingredients keep scrolling.
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
So there isn’t many substitutions I can suggest for these recipes, as they’re already pretty basic! For those who already through out your chickpea liquid just use water instead! Not a fan of cumin? just don’t add it! Don’t have extra virgin olive oil? I would suggest an avocado oil or canola (we don’t love canola though).
Why You'll Love It
- You’ll love these four homemade hummus recipes for their unique flavours and versatility. The chipotle hummus adds a smoky, spicy kick, while the roasted red pepper version offers a sweet and tangy twist. Edamame hummus brings a fresh, green flavour that's a nice change from the usual, and the garlic hummus is a classic with a rich, savoury taste. Perfect for snacking, spreading, or sharing with friends!
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 😏.
