Smokey Honey Hummus

This smokey honey hummus is everything I love about simple dips and spreads. It’s a new take on classic hummus, and it’s my first ever dip on the blog!! Well, outside of ricotta, but I’m not sure that counts.

This smokey honey hummus is everything I love about simple dips and spreads. It’s a new take on classic hummus, and it’s my first ever dip on the blog!! Well, outside of ricotta, but I’m not sure that counts. Crazy right?

What’s amazing about this recipe is it combines two flavors that are not expected in your usual hummus – sweet and smokey. We are using honey for the sweetness, and smoked paprika for a rich, earthy smokiness that goes throughout the spread.

I’ve been loving it on toast, with veggies, and really any time of day. It’s versatile, delicious and I’m so excited to finally have it on the site!

Ingredients for this smokey honey hummus

  • 1 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed, skins removed
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 lemon, for juicing
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tbsp raw honey
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, plus more as needed

How to make this smoked honey hummus

  • Make sure all the skins of the chickpeas are removed, and add to a food processor.
  • Add in the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, smoked paprika and honey. Purée until a smooth mixture forms.
  • Add in the ice cubes and purée again. This time, stream in the olive oil gradually until a thick, smooth hummus forms. Add more olive oil or water until you achieve your desired texture.
  • Season with more salt or paprika to taste, and serve with a drizzle of honey on top!

Looking for other toast ideas?

You’ve come to the right place. I love anything bread. Here are a few of my most recent toast toppings:

Miso Maple Upside-down Toast

This is my love letter to cinnamon toast, but with a few grown-up tweaks. It's so simple, salty-sweet, and insanely good. Pull this recipe out for cozy weekend mornings or for when you need a sweet snack!

Za’atar Parmesan Garlic Spread

This spread is designed to grill onto toast, but you can also use it as a condiment in so many other ways! Put it on pizza, add it to vegetables, it really can be so many things. I have instructions in the post for how to make it toast, but feel free to use it however you like.

Cilantro Oil Eggs

Think of these as green eggs, sans ham. A bright, herby egg salad of sorts, that really relies on just a few ingredients in an easy cilantro oil.

And that’s it for this smokey honey hummus recipe!

If you make it, please tag me on Pinterest or Instagram so I can see! It’s my favorite thing to scroll through stories and see what you all are making.

And of course feel free to leave any questions, comments or reviews! This is the best place to reach me, and I’d love to hear from you <3

      It makes the hummus creamier! When tahini hits water, it seizes up at first and gets thicker 🙂
