Homemade hummus

Have you ever made your own hummus? If you haven’t, I’d say it’s time you tried it!

Homemade hummus is so much fresher and more flavorful than the store-bought ones.

Hummus and chips pairing

Spicy crunchy chips with a creamy kickin’ hummus. They’re the perfect combination for better-for-you snacking.

They also make a great dish on a big game day spread. And, you know I’ll be watching the big game soon!

Serve this hummus with chips, pita, pita chips, crackers, or veggie sticks!

Recipe Notes

It couldn’t be easier to make, either. Once the jalapenos are roasted, simply whirl everything together in a food processor or blender and it’s ready in just a few minutes.

What is tahini?

Tahini is simply a condiment, like a nut butter, made from toasted ground hulled sesame seeds. It’s similar to peanut butter, both in texture and flavor. Tahini is used in Eastern Mediterranean cuisine, the Middle East, as well as parts of North Africa.

I like to buy my tahini in glass jars. That way I can heat it up in the microwave (just be sure to remove the lid).

Tahini will separate, the oil rises to the top, just like natural peanut butter. So, if you microwave it, melting it just a bit, it makes it easy to stir and reincorporate those oils back into the sesame seed paste.
