Recipe: Super Smoky Hummus (Oil-Free, Vegan)

Please subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!

MEET THE KROCKS: We are a married couple who started on a life-changing whole food, plant-based weight loss journey in June 2018. To date, we have lost over 290 pounds combined and we aren’t done yet! Read Our Story

When we first switched to a whole food plant based diet, finding an oil-free hummus was key to our success. Hummus can be used to make veggies taste delicious, save an otherwise boring salad and so much more!

We searched the stores for oil free versions, but none of them really had the flavors we were looking for. Since we use SO much hummus, buying pre-made containers quickly got really expensive! So we set out to find a recipe that we could easily make at home. We tried a TON of hummus recipes before landing on this version.

Super Smoky Hummus (Oil-Free, Vegan)

  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

An oil free hummus with a super smoky flavor.

We usually make a double batch, since there are two of us using it throughout the week, but if you only need a single batch, we included both versions below!

For a DOUBLE batch (approx 4 cups of hummus):

  • 2 cans garbanzo beans (drained, but save the liquid)
  • 1 cup reserved liquid (from the cans of beans)
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice (or the juice of one large lemon)
  • 1 Tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1/4 cup tahini (64g) *see notes below
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp paprika (we use regular paprika – or you can use 3-4 tsp smoked paprika and omit the liquid smoke)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt (OPTIONAL)

For a SINGLE batch (approx 2 cups of hummus):

  • 1 can garbanzo beans (drained, but save the liquid)
  • 1/2 cup reserved liquid (from the can of beans)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice (or the juice of 1/2 a large lemon)
  • 1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
  • 2 Tbsp tahini (32g) *see notes below
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika (we use regular paprika – or you can use 2 tsp smoked paprika and omit the liquid smoke)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt (OPTIONAL)

Directions

  1. Open your can(s) of garbanzo beans. It is best to use canned beans so you can use the reserved liquid (aquafaba) in your hummus. We usually press down the lid after opening it and drain the liquid directly into a measuring cup. Not all cans are equal! Some cans will have more liquid than others, so be sure to only include 1/2 cup (for single can batch) or 1 cup (for double batch). This will help you get the best consistency. Dump the beans + measured amount of aquafaba into your blender container.
  2. Place your blender container on a kitchen scale if you have it. We find it easiest to measure your tahini by weight. Stir your tahini well before adding, as it can separate in your jar. Measure the correct weight of tahini into the container.
  3. Add remaining ingredients to your blender container.
  4. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, until your desired level of “creaminess” is attained. We recommend using a Vitamix or other high speed blender. If you have a “regular” blender, you may have to blend longer. You can also try a food processor. In a Vitamix, the single batch will blend a bit easier. For the double batch, you may have to stop periodically and knock the air bubble out.
  5. Store in an air-tight glass container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Enjoy!

*For the tahini, make sure you buy one that only has ONE ingredient – ground sesame seeds. We like to use Trader Joe’s brand.

Recipe notes & tips:

We find that if we store this in a glass Pyrex container, it stays fresh for about a week.

Our favorite use for this hummus is as an oil free salad dressing! Just scoop a couple spoonfuls into your salad and stir it all up. It may seem like it will be too thick, but it works!

We get our no-salt added garbanzo beans at Whole Foods for just 79 cents per can!

We prefer to use fresh squeezed lemon juice, but we did not have any on hand when we filmed the recipe. Try it out – it does make a difference!

Our favorite brand of liquid smoke is Colgin’s Natural Hickory variety. You can find it in many grocery stores, including Whole Foods. If you prefer to stick with a more strict “whole food plant based” version of the recipe, we suggest omitting the liquid smoke and using smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. In this case, you might need to throw in a bit extra smoked paprika to get a similar smoky flavor.

Brian likes to use just a few drops of Bourbon Smoked Bluegrass Soy Sauce on top of his hummus sometimes for an extra smoky punch of flavor. (Jessica thinks this is totally unnecessary and annoying.)

  1. M Border says:

    Enjoyed this, bit less smoke, bit more lemon juice and threw in some Jalapeño slices. Other half doesn’t like hummus and he declared this delicious. Thanks.

    • Awesome! We actually just made a similar hummus with some roasted jalapeno last night. It turned out really tasty! We are working on a few variations of this, so maybe we will release a video with some more combinations soon!

      • Gladys B and Johnny G says:

        I can feel it in my bones…my life is about to change! I came across your YouTube feed yesterday. Haven’t put you down since. Good for you guys!! I’m so inspired. Here’s my question: are you planning to put all this, including recipes, into book form? I need printed info, as it is difficult to get everything written out off YouTube. All good. Would just love to have you in print, always within reach. Thank you for everything you’ve accomplished , and share so beautifully. Truly life-changing❤️🤙🏻

        • Hello! Thank you for watching! We do plan to make a cookbook someday, but not sure when. You can print out the individual recipes from our website – there is a print button on the top right side of the box with the recipe in it!

          • Karen says:

            Thanks so much for this recipe! Packaged hummus is quite expensive and when I calculated the cost of what I spent to make this…it was $1 for the single batch! And, this was very delicious! (We don’t like a smoke flavor, so I just omitted the liquid smoke and it was still tasty😋. I’d planned to sub some low-sodium soy sauce if needed, but we enjoyed it as-is.) I look forward to many batches to come! If you do make some videos about changing up the recipe I’ll be interested to see what you come up with! I’m thinking of going spicy 🌶 😊. I LOOVVVEEE your YouTube channel and have officially embarked on my own new WFPB lifestyle this week. I was already meat-free and heavy on veggies, but giving up cheese and BUTTER and the half&half in my coffee will be my issue. And also those dreaded “okay” things that tend to sneak back in as you said in your Mary’s Mini video. My husband laughs every time I say, “The Krocks say…” because I’ve been watching so many of your videos in the last month since I found your channel, read Penn’s book and the eat to live book. So I started Sunday on the potatoes. Lasted til Thursday when I cooked an oil-free veggie soup (thanks for teaching about water-sauteéing! I feel stupid for all the oil and butter I’ve used over the years!! I had no idea that would work!!) for my daughters and looked at it and said, you know…this is fine for a Mary’s Mini and so I just transitioned to that plan…I was NOT feeling well on potatoes! So I feel pretty good and I’m down 4.2 pounds in 6 days. Not shabby. Anyhooo(didn’t mean for this to be sooo long!)….thank you for all of your videos…and your beautiful website.

      • Elizabeth says:

        I made it today and now can’t wait for lunch. I went with fresh garlic and upped the lemon and threw in a wizened jalapeño that was languishing in my fridge. Fabulousness has happened. Thanks for your blog and YouTube videos. You are inspirational!

    • Alma says:

      Silly me, made it again and realised I’d not only put in the full amount of liquid smoke you said but used smoked paprika! No wonder it was a bit smokey. Made it with just the smoke and ordinary paprika and it was delicious (plus the jalapeños as I’m hooked). Good job

  2. Robin Delane Butler says:

    I am really enjoying your vedios, just simple and no fuss, not a lot of rambling. Keep up the great info. vedios🤩

  3. Carrie says:

    I ordered the liquid smoke, but made the recipe without it. I also doubled the double batch and added one bunch of fresh parsley. I find adding fresh herbs gives it even more of a nutritional punch. Its tasty! I love hummus. Thank you for the oil free option.

  4. Amelia T says:

    Yum! I just whipped up a small batch using a little extra lemon and some fresh garlic and its delicious. Also I didnt have any liquid smoke so I used smoked paprika. Awesome recipe thank you 😋

  5. Patty says:

    Don’t forget to use your Amazon prime discount code at Whole Foods if your shopping there. I always seem to forget.

    • There are so many things to remember when checking out these days LOL!

    • Mona says:

      Patty, how/where do you find out what your Amazon prime discount code is? Thanks!

      • Mona – There is a Whole Foods app you can download and connect to your Amazon account. If you have Amazon Prime, when you scan the barcode on the Whole Foods app at the check out, you get the discounts. Next time you check out at Whole Foods they should be able to help you get it all set up (as long as you are an existing Prime member).

  6. Laureen Granger says:

    Since I too wanted this primarily as a salad dressing, I added a Tablespoon of water to the single batch and found it to be the perfect consistency for a dressing -in my humble opinion. Highly recommend for anyone who is more inclined to drizzle on than scoop and stir!

  7. Ron Hargrove says:

    I just started my WFPB diet. Unlike you guys, I had no difficulty with the 2-week potato diet (I actually went 15 days). I have already made up my salad for next week and decided to make this for the dressing. I think that next time I will add a little sriracha for some kick, but it is very nice as is. I have to stop myself from ‘sampling’ it often.

  8. Lorie (greenssmoothiemimi) says:

    This is the BEST BEST BEST hummus and Jessica you were right! I LOVE it as sakad dressing! That smoky flavor just takes it over the top! THANK YOU!!

  9. Sarah says:

    This recipe looks incredible but I was wondering if there was anything you could recommend to substitute the aquafaba? I have tried recipes with aquafaba and it does not agree with my stomach. Thank you!

  10. Vaea says:

    If you microwave beans with the liquid for a minute or 2 then make the recipe..game changer…

  11. Paulette says:

    This Humus is delicious…. I put my finished humus in the small 8 oz mason jars with a lid. Then, I have a jar to take with me to work to have at lunch…. I put the Humus on a flower tortilla with some chopped veggies, greens and sunflower seeds. It makes a yummy wrap.

  12. Betty says:

    Have you tried making hummus without tahini? How will it affect the taste? I’m trying to reduce the fat.
    Thanks for taking the time to make all these videos. Love them!!

    • We have done this recipe with half of the amount of tahini and it still works pretty well! Thanks for watching 🙂

    • Cheryl Garcia says:

      I have been using tahini by pouring off the oil that separates at the top. I also do this with peanut butter and anything else that separates and gets oily; this way I am reducing the oil from natural products to make them less oily, Hoping this is keeping my diet of wfpb No oil even a bit more compliant. Thoughts?

    • Kristi says:

      I just made this without the tahini and I think it turned out really good. I am doing McDougall’s Max weight Loss, so no nuts and seeds for now.

  13. Carol Oertle says:

    Hi Jessica, I made my 3rd recipe of the Super Smoky Hummus today. I make it in my food processor and it doesn’t get stuck like when making it in my blender. I put in three garlic cloves first and the processor chops them fine. Then I add the other ingredients. I had run out of my homemade tahini so I used Adam’s Peanut Butter (that I don’t stir all the oil into from the jar) and I thought it was really delicious. It’s so exciting to see you and your husband becoming so sleek. We’re so proud of your combined efforts.

  14. Patti says:

    Love this smoky hummus! My husband, who is a hummus fan, didn’t think he would like the smoky flavor much but made it anyway. We had hummus, romaine & tomato sandwiches on toasted whole-grain seed yoast and it was absolutely delish! Keep it up! Loving your channel 😊

  15. LM Lowe says:

    I made your double batch recipe, not thinking how much there’d be…but I managed to eat it all and it was delish. 😀

    I’ve been making killer “traditional” hummus for, dare I say…decades?!…but I really enjoyed your healthy no oil version. I did make a few adjustments..more lemon juice (real lemons), fresh garlic instead of dried and smoked paparika instead of liquid smoke…it turned out awesome!!!

  16. Ginny says:

    Love it! I added hot sauce.

  17. Amy Hightower says:

    Just made this Hummus and just love it!! Thank you for sharing it!

  18. Kat says:

    I’ve made a lot of hummus but this is the best yet! I’m in LOVE! The smokey flavor is unbelievable and I can’t wait to make some more! I’m going to try smoked paprika this time to taste the difference. Thank you so much for putting your sweet selves out there and putting all these recipes and videos together for the rest of us!! Btw, Brian looks GREAT in his new haircut!

  19. rghdrft says:

    Make a lot of hummus but always try new smoked ones this is very good the bourbon soy sauce sound good as well. Just passing on red lentils make a good smokey hummus lots of recipes out there but I end up making my own versions – some of Penzeys barebecue spice mixes pair well with the liquid smoke. Enjoy following you been wfpb several years but always learn something new thanks

  20. Lynellen says:

    I’m always disappointed to see mustard and tahini in a recipe that says oil free as I’m trying to eat with zero fat, even from whole foods sources. All other non-oil recipes I’ve ever bought or made are too acidic, or just thin and boring. I made this recipe, but without tahini—and without cumin as I didn’t have any, but with liquid smoke, and it was still very good—a great salad dressing for a non-acidic salad dressing. The best I have ever come across. 😁 Thank you!

    • Great to hear that it turned out well without the tahini! Thanks for letting us know!

    • Barbara Lee says:

      Lynellen, try “Naked PB”, which is a peanut butter powder that we absolutely love! Mrs. Plant (Amy Johnson) recommended it to us. So much better than any others and it’s only peanuts with the oil removed, no salt, no sugar. I add it to Thai food, and I mix a lot of it into Kirkland Organic Peanut Butter from Costco to cut the oil per serving way down. My husband loves the flavor of his peanut butter so much better this way. (Just a side note idea as I know you said you are doing zero fat right now.) I bet some of this powder would be very good in this hummus. You have to buy a large container of it at a time and they sell it on Amazon now. I use it for everything, even in banana nice cream! It’s very flavorful so a little goes a long way, and being that it has no oil, it seems to last forever.

  21. Alan Abbott says:

    Just made a batch. very nice but for me that liquid smoke is too powerful. Will use smoked paprika next time and more lemon. Great recipe though.

  22. Jackie Weber says:

    OMG. You need to do a cookbook. Everything is amazing. I made your stuffed peppers and now the best hummus ever. Thank you and congrats on your success.

  23. Chipotle says:

    Wow, the 365 brand is triple that price in Canada. Would you be able to provide the rough cup measurement for the chickpeas?

    Love your channel and recipes.

  24. Keith B says:

    This is now my ‘go to’ hummus recipe – no more store-bought for me! I do have a request though: the print option seems to be white text on dark background, which is very heavy on the ink! Could you make it black text on white please?

  25. Helen says:

    Hi Great Recipes – any idea on nutritional elements once made up? Thanks

  26. Amanda says:

    I love this recipe so much. I add a little hot sauce to give it a kick.

  27. Naomi stratton says:

    I made you suoer somkey hummus today..omited liquid smoke turned out super yummy ty for sharing with us

  28. Ken says:

    I made your super smokey hummus last evening. It is quite good. I like it.

  29. AV Really says:

    I discovered that I was following the double batch recipe but only had one can of garbanzo beans. Subbed white beans and it still came out really good. Thanks I discovered your channel about a month ago and have been enjoying you both ever since.😊

  30. BethC says:

    We eat hummus every day, we love this recipe. I use my food processor. The only thing different..I add a couple tablespoons tomato paste. No one knows it’s in there and it adds something (color, flavor). Try it!

  31. Amanda Roberts says:

    I followed the recipe to a T and I love it! Even the kids loved it and they have been pretty unforgiving about the healthier eating transition. Thank you!

  32. Charity Hutton says:

    I love this recipe As Is. However, I was feeling the need for a little heat this time around… I added one chipotle pepper in adobo sauce to a single batch. And.. Amazing! Slight heat with a deeper smokiness.

    Thank you for this recipe. This is the Best. Hummus. Ever.

  33. Jamie Bunkley says:

    Hummus is my absolute favorite and I have been trying to nail a good hummus recipe for a while. This finally did it for me. Thank you for the great recipe! The only thing I did different was I threw in a few Greek olives. Next time I will try roasted red pepper.

  34. Batty Royale says:

    This is super good, thank you. I used smoked paprika instead of liquid smoke. I also used almond butter instead of tahini because that’s what I had on hand. Then I used the hummus as a base for an Engine 2 salad dressing. Hubby and I loved it. This and the chili are keepers!

  35. Christina Pope says:

    We live in a tiny little lake town in TX. My husband is from St. Louis. Love it there! Any who…. we traveled 1.5 hrs to the nearest Trader Joe’s and picked up your favorites. I was in a rush yesterday and went to the grocery after church, bought all for my salad for the rest of the week, but there was absolutely no hummus. Nearest “large” grocery is 30 minutes away. So, bought some chick peas and some garlic and came home. Woke up at 3 this morning and just finished my first ever batch of hummus. Oh my…this stuff is SO GOOD! I don’t think I will ever buy from the store again. I did add a whole bulb of garlic. I usually buy the garlic hummus, but this is so much better! TY for experimenting and coming up with the recipe. After reading reviews, I am interested in adding some jalapeño. Yum,yum,yum. Also, tell Brian, I have told everyone I can think of about the cinnamon in the chili. Wow! Wasn’t sure about that, but will be a staple. My meat eating family even likes the addition. We make a lot of chili in TX. I think we wait for the weather to get to 70 and out pops the chili and gumbo pots. Working on a plant based gumbo. Really hard with a flour roux. Have a great day! Thank you again.

    • Thank you Christina! I am glad you decided to make your own hummus! It really does taste better and is much more affordable 😀 Brian will be so happy to hear to enjoyed the cinnamon in the chili 🙂

  36. Susa Bur says:

    Planning to make this tomorrow. By the way, do you know none of your links work on the Things We Love page? Thanks for sharing your lifestyle through YouTube and this blog.

  37. Linda Neal says:

    What can be used in place of tahini? I’m on Weight Watchers and tahini would cost me many daily points. Thanks in advance. Linda

  38. Pam says:

    So just WOW! My husband hummus hater husband really liked this! Thanks for the great recipe!

  39. jessi says:

    Thank you for the recipe. I am eager to try it.

    I need to ask: What is the weight of the garbanzo beans? I live in Europe and have no idea how many beans ‘1 can’ is…

  40. Paula Massey says:

    I finally made this hummus,this morning…. Yesterday I made some baba ganoush.
    When I got home today, I was good and hungry. Had some black bean soup in the fridge and my baba ganoush and the just-made-this-AM hummus (which I tasted at the time and found it acceptable, but a bit flat). Anyways, as I said hungry: with my bean soup, I sort of almost burned my piece of toast (on purpose) and put on one side the baba ganoush and the other hummus.
    Know not what happened in the meantime since this morning, but this was a very good and satisfying meal.
    Feel bad for those people who won’t consider and take a look at the WFPB lifestyle and are counting calories and fat grams (and doing without)… not even to mention at less success on the scales.
    Enjoy y’all a lot. Keep on video-ing and inspiring us. We like you – a lot!! Paula

    • Naomi says:

      I have just made this hummus and it is the best I have ever tasted, the store brought one’s I always fine two tangy, but I had to use a lot more paprika than the recipe suggested.
      Thanks guys keep the recipes coming.

  41. Bobbie says:

    THIS IS SO FREAKIN GOOD …. especially on salads … Mmm!!!

  42. Kay says:

    WOW! Thank you for this awesome recipe! I wasn’t sure if my 2 cup mini food processor could handle this, but by sheer will power I made it work. It wasn’t perfectly smooth, but it tastes devine. I will probably make the single batch half at a time & then whisk the batches together after processing, so that it has proper room to circulate. I have been binge watching your YouTube videos for several days & I’m loving the inspiration and recipes you’ve shared. – Blessings from Texas!

  43. Jacque says:

    I just made this and it is delicious! Love the smokiness that the Liquid Smoke provides.

  44. Gwen Cooper says:

    Fabulous!

  45. Adam says:

    I appreciate this recipe and am going to make it right now as a matter of fact! I have one comment/question: I thought that BPA is still allowed in the coating inside a can, so that is why I always rinse my beans, so as to get rid of any BPA that may have leeched out of that lining. (I realize there is likely still some that was absorbed into the chickpeas.) Well if anyone knows about the BPA in the canned food lining, I’d appreciate an update!

  46. Cheryl Cochran says:

    I made this last week and just remembered I didn’t comment! This is one of the best hummus’s, hummus’, hummi???? Anyhoo, the best I’ve made…ever! Even my non WFPB hubby loves it. I sent some to work with him to give to his vegan employee, and his employee wanted the recipe to make it himself! Thank you, Brian for this recipe. Jessica, hi and hugs to Peef!

  47. Tanyia says:

    I’m not sure if it has been said, but I added a single pitted mejool date to the 4 cup batch. Just because I like my sweet and smokey BBQ…. I was not disappointed. Thank you Krocks, love your videos, we just went on a Europe trip too!

  48. KAY M SAMS says:

    Let me just say how much I love you guys! Your super smokey oil free hummus is the 💣.com! Just got my new high speed blender (it’s the Instant Pot Ace) and felt inspired to create this awesome recipe from ingredients I had on hand since I was out of lemons. I can’t wait to try it w/my next salad or crudite, but til then, it’s game for anything. I hope y’all try it this way sometime soon. It has a very mellow sweet/savory flavor…😋

    ORANGE HUMMUS
    Liquids: Totaling 1c + 3 Tbsp-
    Approx 1/2 c FRESH Squeezed OJ w/pulp
    3 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar w/mother
    Topped off w/approx *1/2 c reserved Bean liquid.
    Canned:
    2- 15.5 oz cans Garbanzo beans, *drained
    Seasonings: 1/2 tsp each: Ground cumin, Ground ginger, Dry mustard, Turmeric, Sea salt, Mild/sweet paprika (not smoked) and McCormick’s organic dried Valencia orange peel (or substitute w/approx 1 Tbsp fresh grated) and 1.5 tsp garlic powder (or 3 med cloves minced garlic).

  49. Linda W says:

    I always add a bit of turmeric and some black pepper. Also, if using it for salad dressing, I add more liquid to thin it down. My recipe, from Moosewood cookbook uses water for thinning.

  50. Pat White says:

    We love this recipe (and all of your recipes). The only change I make is don’t use cumin but add about 1/2 tsp of chipotle chili pepper. Always make a double batch and we eat it upon less than a week. Yummmmm…

  51. Isabel Negron says:

    Hi guys, I have been watching your videos for a few months, today I am finally making your hummus. Yesterday I was short for time and starving so I made like half a can of chickpeas hummus for my salad the other was in the salad itself. I am having a salad again today and need dressing. I first found Dr, Fuhrman, Dr.Greger and all the others in these docuseries. I then started watching The Watering Mouth Nutritarian videos and then found you, what I like about yours is that you guys really lost a lot of weight and if you did it I can too. I have a few issues one is that my 79 yo mom lives with me and does not want to give up things but her vegan cardiology Dr. Kim Williams he also has a few videos has been helping me to tell her. I also found him on the docuseries. My other problem is that I love beer, I stopped buying meat for me to cook but will buy it prepared if we want any which causes me to buy other side dishes . Congratulations on your 100th video. Looking forward in making your recipes. Tell Brian I love those can Green Beans.

  52. Julie says:

    I really enjoyed this hummus. Love the smokey flavor! I am touched by your stories and your videos. You are “real” people and are truly inspiring.

  53. Tabitha says:

    Holy Moly! I’ve been wanting to make this for some time and so glad I finally did!! So easy and damn delicious! You guys rock!

  54. Ayana says:

    I tried a variation of this recipe with garlic, onions, and balsamic vinegar. It turned out great! I like my hummus super thick so I think I’ll add a little less aquafaba next time:)Thanks for the recipe!

  55. Dana says:

    I just finished my 14 days of potatoes! So excited to start eating veggies. I made the hummus this morning, but it seems very watery compared to yours. Any idea why this would happen? Hoping it thickens up in the fridge.

  56. Stefh says:

    Hiiii, did you know the messurment for dried garbanzo beans? In Colombia is sooo unusual canned garbanzo beans. hugs

  57. Lisa says:

    Hi there! Just made this hummus recipe and let me tell you….I LOVE IT. I am Lebanese and grew up eating hummus before it was popular and you could find it in the stores. My mom or Sitti would make it …soooo good. This recipe is my favorite next to theirs of course. But this one is oil free so that impressive. It makes me want to go buy a 25 pound bag of chickpeas. Thanks to you and Brian for putting yourselves out there. I really love your recipes and YouTube channel.

    • Wow Lisa! Just passed those compliments on to Brian 🙂 We still have 15 pounds left of our 25 pound bag LOL! But I am glad I got it. The fresh ones from the Instant Pot are soo good!

  58. Renae says:

    Is there a way you can receive the commissions if i buy the Liquid smoke in Australia? we use a ton of it and if i can earn you guys a few extra dollars please let me know

  59. Becca Baak says:

    yummmmy! Serioulsy SO GOOD! Thanks for sharing!

  60. Kelley Beld says:

    Whoa! Best hummus in the world to me! Thanks Krocks!

  61. Frieda Kington says:

    I made this for the first time back in July. It was amazing! I started using Brittany Jaroudi’s tip of adding some balsamic vinegar to make a dressing. It is wonderful with Chocolate Raspberry aged ( meaning I have left it in the pantry for a very long time because I didn’t have a use for it yet) balsamic. Yummmm. This hummus has become a base for pretty much every dip or sauce I make. About to make another batch!

  62. Milu Simpson says:

    I love this recipe! I’ve made it several times and love it more each time. This has become a staple in my home.

    Thank you!

    The last couple batches I added a jalapeno….yummmmy!

  63. Angie Derr says:

    This is the best hummus that I have ever been able to make myself!!!
    I usually don’t like making it myself because it doesn’t come out right so I had given up on it and the store hummus just isn’t the same and has too many ingredients for my liking, but this recipe has given me hope and confidence that I will once again be able to enjoy hummus!

    Hi Jessica and Brian! I just made it. I added a little extra lemon juice. I forgot to save the water from the beans so added just plain water and a little less paprika, just because that was all I had. I ate some with endive leaves that I had. Yummy. I think it will be even better after it sits in the fridge for a while. Thanks.

    Just made this. I subbed cashew butter for tahini as I didn’t have any. It is so good. Thank you for sharing your recipes.

    Love your show and this looks so good. Hummus is one of my favorite foods. I ‘m going to whip some up tomorrow. You know tahini is between 50-60% oil.

    Although this is not hummus as I know hummus, I now have a fabulous salad dressing and sandwich spread. I amped up the garlic and lemon juice. Am now experimenting with white miso for the salt flavor. Thank you so much for posting. I was hoping for a smoky flavor at the baba ghanoush level, still under. Love the smoked paprika flavor, will now play with adding liquid smoke-you may have given me my answer.

    This hummus is amazing! I used it as the dressing for a chopped salad with tons of veggies for dinner tonight. It blew my mind! I had never used hummus as a dressing before. What a great idea. I will be using this as my new go-to. Thanks for the amazing recipe J&B!
