Rosemary Habanero Hummus


The flavors just mesh so perfectly in this habanero hummus! My first experiment with habanero and rosemary was in my sweet and spicy white bean soup and it was a big hit. This new experiment resulted in an equally delicious versatile hummus. With bold flavors, this nutrient-dense dip will stand out at your next summer barbecue or Superbowl party spread!

Looking for heat but apprehensive about the habanero? My spicy sweet potato hummus may be more your pace. Either of these recipes can be made with virtually any type of hot pepper, so use whatever you can find or already have on hand! Not a fan of spice at all? You wouldn’t survive in my house but, I have an easy roasted red pepper hummus for you that’s mild yet still incredibly flavorful!

– Purchasing tip: I buy canned beans at Trader Joe’s because they do not contain BPA. If you don’t live near a Trader Joe’s, click here for brands that are BPA free. You can also use 200g garbanzo beans prepared from dry.

  • If you don’t have fresh, you can substitute 1 tbsp dried rosemary.
