Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus (Oil-Free)
This zesty hummus is great for snacks, dips, sandwich spreads, and more. It's delightfully creamy and easy to prepare!
Servings6 (1/4-cup servings)
Ingredients
- 15 oz. can garbanzo beans
- 1-3 Tbsp. aquafaba* (to desired consistency)
- 3/4 cup fresh cilantro (or more to taste)
- 1-2 jalapenos** (stems & seeds removed)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 Tbsp. tahini
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. fine grain salt (more/less to taste)
Instructions
- Open the can of garbanzo beans and reserve 3 Tbsp. aquafaba.* Then rinse and drain garbanzo beans.
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. (Start with 1 Tbsp. aquafaba and add more as desired.) Blend until creamy, about 20-30 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust flavors if desired.
Notes
*Aquafaba: This is the thick liquid found in the can of garbanzo beans. Use as much or as little to thin to your desired consistency.
**Jalapenos: These can vary quite a bit in spiciness. If you're sensitive, start small and increase the amount as desired. (Or if you enjoy the spice & flavor, feel free to add another jalapeno!)
Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. We find it keeps for about 4-5 days.
Yield: Recipe makes about 1.5 cups hummus.
