Description

A creamy, vibrant gluten-free hummus trio inspired by family tradition—classic, roasted red pepper, and Moroccan-spiced—perfect for sharing at any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 23 tbsp olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 23 tbsp cold water (as needed)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin (for classic)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for Moroccan)
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander (for Moroccan)
  • 1 tsp harissa or 1/2 preserved lemon (optional, for Moroccan)
  • 1/3 cup roasted red peppers, chopped (for roasted red pepper version)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro) for garnish
  • Optional toppings: gluten-free dukkah, more olive oil

Instructions

  1. For the classic hummus: In a food processor, blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, cumin, and 2 tbsp water until smooth and creamy. Add more water for a thinner consistency if needed.
  2. For the Moroccan hummus: Scoop half the classic hummus into a bowl. To the remaining hummus in the processor, add smoked paprika, coriander, and harissa or preserved lemon if using. Blend to combine.
  3. For the roasted red pepper hummus: Scoop another portion of classic hummus into a bowl. To the remaining base, add roasted red peppers and blend until smooth and vibrant.
  4. Spoon each hummus flavor into separate bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs or gluten-free dukkah if desired.
  5. Serve with carrot sticks, cucumber slices, radish, gluten-free pita chips, or your favorite gluten-free crackers. Enjoy!

Notes

Always check your tahini and spices for gluten-free certification. For extra creamy hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending. Customize spices to taste, and feel free to swap in other gluten-free add-ins like lemon zest, beets, or jalapeño for more variety.
