    Hummus Recipes

    Consider this your hummus playground. Explore colorful hummus recipes—from classic chickpea hummus to vibrant veggie variations made with roasted veggies and creative toppings.

    Colorful Hummus Variations

    • Beet Hummus - a vibrant, earthy roasted beet hummus that’s marvelously magenta.
    • Carrot Hummus - a bright carrot hummus that works wonderfully with every color of the carrot rainbow.
    • Black Hummus - a dramatic hummus made with black tahini for a richer, nuttier, more intense flavor.
    • Butternut Squash Hummus - roasted squash adds a seasonal sweet-and-savory twist to classic hummus.
    • Loaded Hummus - a playful riff on the classic American 7-layer dip… hummus style.
    • Hummus with Spiced Lamb - a popular Middle Eastern dish that turns hummus into a hearty appetizer or full meal.

    Or try my green tahini recipe for a brighter, zestier, herbaceous twist on the classic Middle Eastern tahini sauce.

    Hummus is endlessly adaptable—add roasted veggies, herbs, spices, or toppings into the creamy hummus base to create vibrant variations for every season.
