This spicy hummus recipe without tahini will be your go to whenever you just crave hummus. Measure out your ingredients, open and drain your can's of beans but SAVE a 1/4 cup of the chickpea liquid from the can, you'll use it in the humus as well!
Use garnishes to enhance flavor and visual appeal. Another way to boost the quality of your hummus is by spreading it onto your dish, drizzling with olive oil, and topping it with fresh parsley, paprika, cracked pepper, and chopped kalamata olives (or any other low-carb ingredients that will add some extra color and flavor).
Give it a good mixing and add a little water if it seems to be too thick after thawing. Customize your low-fat vegan hummus by adding one or more of the following: 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, 1 fresh jalapeño (seeded and chopped), 1 red bell pepper (roasted, seeded, and chopped), 1 cup Kalamata olives.
The creamy deliciousness of hummus is hard to resist. Unfortunately, so are the high-carb ingredients. Most hummus products and recipes rely on chickpeas (garbanzo beans) — a legume with ~5 grams of net carbs per ounce.
