Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Eggplant

Begin by preheating your oven to **180°C (350°F)**. Cut the eggplant in half and season it with a bit of **olive oil**, **salt**, and pepper if desired.

Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for **30 minutes**, or until they are tender and cooked through.

Step 2

Blend the Hummus Ingredients

Once the eggplant is ready, it’s time to prepare the hummus. In a **blender**, combine the drained white beans, the juice of half a lemon, **tahini**, **cream cheese**, and a splash of **olive oil**. Add **salt** to taste.

Blend everything together until the mixture is completely **smooth** and creamy. You can add a little water if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Step 3

Assemble Your Dish

Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl and smooth out the top. Slice the roasted eggplant and arrange it on top of the hummus.

Garnish with **cherry tomatoes**, fresh **cilantro**, and sprinkle with your choice of **seeds** for added texture.

Servings

When it comes to serving this delicious bean hummus, let your creativity flow! You can serve it in a bowl topped with roasted eggplant slices, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro for a gorgeous presentation.

Pair it with crunchy pita chips or veggie sticks for a perfect snack or appetizer at your next gathering. Don’t forget to drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top for added flavor and richness! 🌿🌟

If you're planning a cozy picnic, pack some whole-grain crackers and sliced veggies to enjoy with your hummus while soaking up the sun. It’s a treat that combines health and taste in every bite! 🥒🍅

Variations

If you're looking for a gluten-free or vegan variation of this bean hummus, you’re in luck! Just make sure to use good-quality ingredients.

For a **gluten-free twist**, skip the pita chips and opt for crisp sliced vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, or celery. You can even try it on top of a gluten-free grain bowl!

And if you're following a **vegan diet**, this recipe is already vegan-friendly! Just ensure that your tahini does not contain any animal products. You can enhance the flavors by adding in spices like cumin or smoked paprika for a kick. 🌶️✨

Faq

  • What can I substitute for tahini?

    If you're out of tahini, you can use sunflower seed butter or almond butter as a substitute. However, this may alter the flavor slightly, so keep that in mind!

  • How do I make my hummus creamier?

    To achieve an extra creamy hummus, add a little more olive oil or a tablespoon of water while blending until you reach your desired consistency.

  • Can I add other ingredients to enhance the flavor?

    Absolutely! Many people love adding roasted garlic, jalapeños, or spices like cumin to create unique flavor combinations!

  • How long does homemade hummus last?

    Homemade hummus can last up to 5 days in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Just give it a good stir before serving if it separates!

  • Can I freeze the hummus?

    Yes! You can freeze hummus for up to 3 months. Just ensure to store it in an airtight container, and let it thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

  • What’s a good way to add more protein to my hummus?

    You can blend in some cooked chickpeas or even some protein powder for an extra boost while keeping that fantastic flavor.
