  4.7 – 201 reviews  • Hummus Recipes

Breakfast bits with egg and sweet potato that are sweet, light, and reduced in carbs.

Prep Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 5 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  1. 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained, liquid reserved
  2. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  3. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  4. 1 clove garlic, crushed
  5. ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  6. ½ teaspoon salt
  7. 2 drops sesame oil, or to taste (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend garbanzo beans, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and sesame oil in a food processor; stream reserved bean liquid into the mixture as it blends until desired consistency is achieved.
  2. I usually end up using about half of the bean liquid, so be sure to reserve it!
  3. Also, I like to let the flavors blend for several hours or overnight before serving this.

Just 1 very small ingredient and thats only because I’m on this particularly spice kick (Tony Chachere’s-more spice Creole Seasoning) for a little extra taste But without your recipe I wouldn’t have the hummus I love so much..I’ve look at other recipes wasn’t what I wanted..so thank you!!
Jesse Cooper

Alicia Baker
Simple with on-hand ingredients. I toast a 1/3 c of sesame seeds and toss in for the sesame flavor that tahini gives. Also sesame oil.
Bradley Williams
Delicious!!
Jay Gill
Easy and delicious! Fresh and much less expensive than store the grocery!
John Fritz
Tasted wonderful and was easy to make. I added a little extra lemon, garnished with cilantro, and used tortilla chips to dip. I’ll definitely be making this again, especially with Great Lent coming up, I’ll just have to sub olive oil for avacado or coconut oil.
Daniel Boyd
I absolute LOVE this Hummus!! And it’s even better if you make homemade chickpeas, so gooooood!! I highly recommend.
Gary Warren
I’d add the Tahini that other recipes suggest. I agree letting the element blend over time gives it a better flavor. Hummus

Easy easy easy. No tahini needed. I tried another recipe with tahini and it didn’t taste as good. My only tweet was to boil the garbanzos 10 minutes in a 1/2 tsp of baking soda to really “over cook” them and open them up. I rinsed in cold water and put them into the food processor. So fast so easy I will never buy hummus again. Sorry about the photo …. This batch was going to the boat. Best presentation: spread it onto an olive wood board – shape into a heart and outline with roasted almonds!

So easy to make. I added everything bagel seasoning to mine. It is amazing and still so healthy as a snack.
Corey Salazar
Great, nice and easy..
Gregory Neal
It was very easy to make. I will be more careful adding the liquid next time.

The best basic Hummus recipe! I don’t care for the taste of tahini and love that this recipe omits that ingredient. I also omitted the Sesame oil. I jazzed it up with some jarred Roasted Red Peppers and served with heated flatbread points. It was a hit! You could also add sun dried tomatoes or black olives or artichoke hearts. Jalepenos would be great, too!
Nichole Martinez
A great starting base, though needed more punch and depth for my liking
Kathryn Hubbard
this was pretty good, but the recipe doesn’t include tahini.
Jocelyn Brown
Eh. It was like a bean dip. Not impressed with hummus.
Jason Mcknight
I made this exactly as written, and I loved it. To tweak it a little more to my taste, I then added a little more sesame oil and some everything bagel seasoning. To be clear, the 5 stars are for the original recipe. The flavor is wonderful with a great consistency. Thanks for the yummy goodness!

Process the clove of garlic in the fd processor first then add the rest of the ingredients . I used extra lemon juice and no sesame oil, because mine had gotten old. It was excellent!

Super Easy Hummus by Chelsey. DIZ’s tips: Today I used 3 -15 oz cans of chickpeas and boiled them in a 6qt pot with 1 ½ tsp. Baking Soda and enough water to cover by an inch or two. Then I drained in a strainer, rinsed, and into the magic food processor. (One of those fancy gadgets that I swore I would never own.) When it’s boiling, some of the skins will float to the top and you can scoop them off if you want. The Chef didn’t, so I don’t. It still turns out creamy.
Toni Gould
added little more lemon juice and more garlic.
