Ingredients

CLASSIC HUMMUS (base recipe)

Roasted Beet Hummus: (base recipe + add):

Green Pea and Mint Hummus (base recipe minus 1/4 tsp cumin +):

  • 2 cups (270g) frozen green peas, lightly cooked or rinsed well under hot water
  • 1/2 cup (14g) firmly packed mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Artichoke Thyme Hummus (base recipe minus 1/4 tsp cumin +):

  • 1 cup (180g) frozen artichoke hearts, lightly steamed
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme (not dried)

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (base recipe minus 1/4 tsp cumin +):

  • 1 cup (200g) roasted red bell pepper (1 medium)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • Pinch of smoked paprika

Carrot Harissa Hummus (base recipe minus 1/4 tsp cumin +):

  • 2 cups (320g) roasted cubed carrot
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons powdered harissa, plus more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Lakanto (or other sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Throw the ingredients into your KitchenAid® blender in the order listed. Secure the lid, remove the center lid cap, and insert the tamper. Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds using the tamper to guide the ingredients through the blades until smooth and creamy. (You may need to stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the container so that you don’t get bits of chickpea and other ingredients in the hummus when you scrape the mixture out of the container.)

  2. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, and serve with chips, crackers, veggie sticks, or slathered on sandwiches or wraps.
