Sweet Hummus Recipes

SWEET HUMMUS RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the dates and water to a microwave safe mug and heat for 90 seconds. Let sit 5 minutes.
• Add the black beans, dates, and water to a blender. Pulse until combined (about 30 seconds to one minute).
• Add the peanut butter, vanilla, sugar, salt and cocoa powder. Pulse another 30 seconds, wiping down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure an even process.
• Toss in the salted caramel chips and pulse for 10 seconds (just a rough chop to give the dip some texture.)
• Pour into a bowl and serve with fresh fruit, graham crackers, or rice cakes!
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 5 days.

SWEET RED PEPPER HUMMUS

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, Sriracha, roasted red peppers, 4 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until the mixture is coarsely pureed. Taste for seasonings, and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, and serve cold or at room temperature with pita triangles and vegetables.

SWEET POTATO HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the sweet potato on a rimmed baking sheet and pierce it a few times with the tip of a knife. Bake the sweet potato until tender all the way through, about 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly.
• In a small skillet over low heat, warm the oil and garlic until the garlic is lightly browned and soft, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In the bowl of a food processor, add the cooled oil and garlic, chickpeas, almond butter, lemon juice and salt and puree until smooth. Scoop the flesh of the sweet potato into the processor and puree again until combined and smooth, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water if needed. Remove the hummus to a bowl and stir in the za'atar, leaving a little swirl. Serve drizzled with olive oil alongside pita chips as desired.

SPICED SWEET ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS

Steps:

• In an electric blender or food processor, puree the chickpeas, red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Process, using long pulses, until the mixture is fairly smooth, and slightly fluffy. Make sure to scrape the mixture off the sides of the food processor or blender in between pulses. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (The hummus can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before serving.)
• Sprinkle the hummus with the chopped parsley before serving.

SWEET POTATO HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Poke holes all over sweet potatoes with a fork.
• Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until soft, about 45 minutes; let cool. Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.
• Combine garbanzo beans and olive oil in a blender and pulse several times to mash. Scoop flesh out of sweet potato peels and add to the blender; pulse to combine. Add tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, coriander, white pepper, and sea salt to mixture; blend until smooth, adding reserved garbanzo bean liquid as needed to make a smooth, creamy hummus.
