Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
This hummus is packed with bold flavors from three different peppers, giving it a perfect balance of heat and earthiness. It’s creamy, spicy, and satisfying, making it a great twist on a classic favorite. Whether you want a snack or a party dip, it never disappoints.
Directions
Tos the garbanzo beans, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, jalapeno, and a bit of the jalapeno juice into the bowl of your stand mixer. Sprinkle in some black pepper, cayenne, cumin, and oregano to kick up the flavor. Use the whisk attachment on low to begin blending everything together, then crank it up to medium and mix until it’s as smooth as you like. Once it’s ready, cover the hummus tightly and pop it in the fridge overnight so all those flavors can really come together. Just make sure the container is sealed well—otherwise, your fridge might end up smelling like a garlic party!
