Spicy Sriracha Hummus

September 13, 2015 by Andrea Leave a Comment

If you hear a man yelling about how this recipe is stolen, just ignore him–that’s just my husband and I think he doth protest too much! Seriously–if he was so concerned about it being snagged, he should have gotten a copyright on it or something, and he certainly shouldn’t have made it so delicious so that all our friends wanted the recipe. I mean, if you want to keep a recipe to yourself, make it horrible so nobody else wants it. The way I see it, I’m doing my civic duty by sharing this recipe with the masses. Not only is it incredibly delicious, but it’s oil-free so it’s super-good for you…which is kinda convenient because you’re going to be eating a lot of this stuff once you make it. Now, if you’re not into spicy recipes, that’s cool, but don’t make this and then complain to me that it’s too spicy because consider yourself warned–it’s got some heat, but not so much that you can’t appreciate the awesome flavors!

For a long time, we made it in our food processor, but then we got a Vitamix and it makes it so nice and smooth. Either way, it’s very versatile and is good with pita chips or veggies, or a great base for a veggie pizza! Enjoy! If your house is anything like ours, it won’t last long!

The wonderful thing about hummus is there are so many ways to make it--so many flavors!! This is a family favorite--my husband's creation and for awhile, the only hummus my daughter would eat. We hope you enjoy it!
Ingredients
  • 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed, reserve the juice
  • ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • a pinch or two of cayenne pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Drain the cans of chickpeas but be sure to reserve the juice--you will use this later to smooth out your hummus and help to process it.
  2. Peel garlic cloves.
  3. Add all ingredients to a food processor, blending until smooth. Add chickpea juice as needed to get to the perfect hummus consistency.
  4. Spoon into a bowl and enjoy with pita chips, tortilla chips, carrots, pretzels, your finger....take your pick!

Bio Picture

Hi, I'm Andrea! I love following a plant-based diet and love even more sharing that love with other people. My family and I began our plant-based journey in June 2013. Since that time, I've learned a lot about making this way of eating work while living a busy life. I hope you enjoy checking out my site and learning a lot about where it all began!
