For this Easy Hummus Without Tahini, you will need:

This homemade hummus comes together with a handful of basic ingredients. Here’s everything you’ll need:

• Chickpeas: You’ll need one 15-ounce can.
• Garlic Cloves: I use two.
• Fresh Lemon Juice: About one lemon’s worth.
• Salt: You’ll need half a teaspoon.
• Cumin: This earthy spice adds depth of flavor to the dip.
• Smoked Paprika: For a touch of spice and smokiness, to taste.
• Olive Oil: For consistency.

Plus any other seasonings you like. I love adding roasted garlic to bump up the flavor. Or even some cayenne pepper and red pepper chili flakes for a kick of heat.

How to Make Hummus

Making hummus at home is a simple, stress-free task. You just to need to blend up all the ingredients in a food processor!

1. Blend Ingredients: Drain the chickpeas, reserving ¼ cup of the chickpea water. Add chickpeas, aquafaba, garlic, lemon, salt, cumin and paprika to a food processor. You may need to scrape down the sides a couple of times.
2. Add Oil:Keep blending whilst slowly pouring the olive oil in until creamy.
3. Enjoy! Serve and top with an extra drizzle of oil and sesame seeds.

Hummus Ideas

Want to change up the flavor profile of this homemade dip? Here are some delicious ideas!

• Extra Spicy Hummus: If you like your hummus with a good amount of heat, throw a chipotle pepper into the food processor with the other ingredients before blending.
• Sweeter Hummus: On the contrary, if you prefer your hummus on the sweeter side, you can swap out the smoked paprika for sweet paprika.
• Hummus with Lime: I’m all about the citrusy notes in this hummus. Fresh lime juice works just as well as lemon juice, but it provides a slightly different flavor. Try it out!

What to Serve with Hummus

This versatile condiment can be served in plenty of yummy ways. These are my top suggestions!

• Serve with Salad: Creamy sweet potato hummus tastes amazing with a fresh Falafel Salad. It’s a healthy lunch or dinner that the whole family will love!
• Pair with Raw Veggies: Homemade hummus is a great tool to get your kids to eat more vegetables and this veggie platter is perfect! It transforms raw carrots and celery into a crave-worthy snack!
• Serve in a Wrap: My crispy, crunchy Collard Wraps are just begging to be stuffed with a helping of this hearty hummus!
• Pair with Chips: Need a quick snack or appetizer? Simply serve sweet potato hummus as a dip for your favorite chips!
• Spread onto Bagels: I’m obsessed with spreading this hummus onto bread and Homemade Bagels. Yum!

Tips for Success

This recipe is super straightforward, but I do have some helpful tips to share before you get started.

• Add Oil While Blending: Don’t pause your food processor when you add in the olive oil. Pour it in slowly while the dip is pulsing until it gets nice and smooth.
• Season to Taste: Before you serve your hummus, be sure to give it a taste to make sure you’re happy with the flavor.

How to Store Hummus

Keep leftover hummus in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy it within 2-3 days. If you want a quick way to make sure your hummus stays creamy, drizzle a little bit of olive oil over it before storing.

Can you freeze Hummus?

Yes! You can absolutely freeze hummus so it works great for meal prep!

TO FREEZE: To freeze, be sure to store the hummus in a large airtight and freezer-safe container or portion it out into small containers. Make sure you don’t fill the container all the way to the top and leave some room because it will expand as it freezes.

TO THAW: Once you’re ready to serve, simply thaw out the hummus in the refrigerator the day before you want to use it. If you notice any extra water, that is completely normal. You can just dump out the extra water and use a fork to stir well until you get a creamy consistency again. Enjoy as is or warm in the microwave for a few seconds.
