This sun-dried tomato hummus is the perfect appetizer and snack. It’s creamy, full of flavour and so easy to make. If you love regular hummus, you will love this upgrade!
I am obsessed with hummus, especially homemade hummus. I very rarely buy it from the store because the homemade version is just so delicious. I love experimenting with new versions and this one with sun-dried tomatoes turned out really delicious and is one of my favourites! Hummus is so easy to make and it pleases everyone!
For this sun-dried tomato hummus, you will need few and simple ingredients. As all hummus, it requires Tahini, a sesame seeds paste, which you might not find everywhere but it’s definitely worth the search. I make hummus often so I use a jar quite quickly but you can also have it on toast and make delicious dressings. This version is oil-free as sun-dried tomatoes have oil, to make it creamier I use the water of the chickpeas, called aquafaba.
You will need:
- Chickpeas
- Tahini Paste
- Lemon juice
- Aquafaba
- Sundried tomatoes
- Salt and pepper
Hummus is the perfect snack, pair it with some carrots and celery and you’ve got a really nutritious and well-balanced snack that checks some of the boxes of your required intakes for the day. It includes good fat from sesame seeds and is a good source of proteins and fibre.
Step by step method
First, rinse the canned chickpeas but keep some of the chickpea water, aquafaba, as that will be used instead of oil to make the hummus creamy.
To garnish, add some more sun-dried tomatoes, a little extra virgin olive oil and some black sesame seeds. It will look so chic!
