About this recipe

Hummus has a special place in my fridge. It is something that we eat pretty often. We eat it with veggies, with chips, in a sandwich or with a salad. We eat so often that I have developed a lot of different hummus recipes over these years. But this jalapeño recipe is one of my favorites.

What is hummus?

Hummus is a Mediterranean and Middle East dish made with chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and salt. This is the classic hummus recipe, and it is delicious as it is, but it is also delicious if you spice it up a bit.

How to eat hummus? And as I said, you can eat it with chips, pita, pita chips, vegetables; you can even cook with it. I love to use it in my collard green wraps or my vegetable sandwich. Some times for lunch, I eat a spoonful or two (ok, three 😊) with some greens, and it is filling, light, perfect, and leaves me full energy for the rest of the day.

how to prepare roasted jalapeño hummus?

Preparing this roasted jalapeño hummus is as easy as roasting the jalapeños and garlic on a griddle, pan, or toaster oven. And then pureeing everything in a food processor.

You can use homecooked chickpeas or canned or jarred ones. I usually use canned chickpeas when I am in a hurry. The important thing to know here is that both will give you the creamiest and most delicious jalapeño hummus.

Best way to serve it.

As an appetizer. In a platter with veggies, I love to serve very colorful platters so I choose different colors of tomatoes, different cauliflower, purple, orange, and yellow carrots. Serve with homemade crackers o roasted nuts.

This jalapeño hummus has a Latin twist to it, so serve it with tortilla chips and more posted jalapeños on top.
