Miso Hummus Recipe

Why We Love This Miso Hummus Recipe

This is not the first hummus recipe on A Spicy Perspective. You see, I sort have a thing for homemade hummus… I love snacking on hummus with veggies and chips. I love spreading hummus on toast or on sandwiches. And I love adding a scoop of hearty hummus to a boring green salad to liven things up a bit. (Plus, making your own hummus recipe is more budget-friendly and allows you to have full control over quality, texture and taste.) On the site we have fabulous recipes like Creamy Avocado Edamame Hummus, Thai Coconut Curry Hummus, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, and Crispy Rosemary Hummus. However, this white Miso Hummus recipe is quickly becoming a favorite with my family because of the unique umami flavor introduced by a large dollop of white miso paste. Miso has a rich salty flavor that blends perfectly with hummus. It provides that extra something, which keeps people coming back for more!

Ingredients You Need

Chickpeas – drained and rinsed Miso paste – we prefer white miso paste, but feel free to use other variations if you like Lemon – for fresh zest and juice Sesame oil – a nutty oil that can be substituted with other light oils, like avocado or quality canola oil Garlic – peeled but no need to mash or mince (since we’ll be using a food processor) Crushed red pepper – for a nice kick of spicy heat, but feel free to omit Sesame seeds – to garnish (optional)

How to Make the Best Miso Hummus

Serving Suggestions

Scoop up mouthfuls of white miso hummus with your favorite dippers like fresh cut veggies, crackers, and pieces of pita. Sweet peas, grape tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and cucumber are some of my top vegetables! You can use the hummus as a spread on all kinds of other yummy dishes! Smear a serving onto cold-cut or vegetable sammies, veggie wraps, or chicken wraps. It also goes great on sesame chicken burgers, mediterranean burgers, or really on any burgers or sandwiches that could use a little something extra creamy and flavorful.
