Smoky & Spicy Chipotle Hummus Dip
This creamy hummus is made with canned chickpeas & chipotle peppers. It is a quick & easy dip, perfect for sharing, or meal prepping.
Equipment
- 1 High-Powered Blender, with tamper
- 1 Food Processor
- 1 Small Silicone Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 15.5 ounce chickpeas, canned & drained (aquafaba reserved)
- 2-3 chipotles in adobo sauce, canned
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped or sliced
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add your chickpeas, liquid ingredients, garlic, chipotles in adobo, and seasonings into your high-powered blender or food processor.
- Start blending on low, using the tamper to help things blend. If it is still too thick you can add a tablespoon at a time of your reserved aquafaba (liquid from the canned chickpeas) too loosen it up a little bit. Only add enough to make it the consistency you like.
- Note: If you are using a food processor, it is helpful to use a small silicone spatula to "scrape" the sides and loosen the chickpeas around the blades to keep things moving.
- When the dip is a nice creamy consistency, taste it and add more salt if it is needed. Give it a quick blend if adding salt.
- Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika or chili powder, and sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds if you wish.
- Serve with celery sticks, cucumber slices, or crackers. It also makes great sandwiches topped with bacon, avocado, & tomato. Enjoy!
