This spicy Sriracha Hummus is made in minutes and is cheaper than store-bought. Eat it with veggies, chips, or in a sandwich.
This Sriracha Hummus is around the tenth or eleventh hummus recipe that I have created. Do I have a hummus obsession? Probably.
Am I ever going to stop creating hummus recipes? Probably not. I even have a dark chocolate hummus that tastes like a dessert but is pretty healthy.
I keep making them partly because those little 8-ounce tubs of hummus are just NOT worth their price. I also do it because hummus is one of those dips that is super easy to make, and making your own tastes better than store-bought.
I have found that once you have created your own personal basic hummus recipe formula, then you have it made. Pretty much all of my hummus recipes start the same way - with the same amount of tahini, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. After that, I add whatever I want.
Another recipe to try is my Baba Ghanoush (Eggplant Dip).

🔪 Instructions
Blend garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, olive oil, and sriracha sauce or sriracha powder in a food processor until creamy. Add water if desired. It thickens up a little when refrigerated.
💭 Tips
- I like things spicy. If you don't like things too spicy, start with less sriracha to see how you like it.
- If you plan on serving it right away you may not want any water, especially if you use sriracha sauce instead of sriracha powder. It will thicken up a bit after refrigerating, so keep that in mind.
🍽 Serving
- Veggies: carrots, cucumber, celery, bell pepper
- Tortilla chips
- Crackers
- Pretzels
- Toast or baguette
- Pita chips or pita bread (if you know of a good gluten-free vegan brand of either, I'd love to know!)
- Taquitos
- Wrap
- Vegan hummus quesadilla
- Sandwich
- Tortilla pizza
- Tostadas

Sriracha Hummus has Hubs intrigued already. We've never refrigerate his Sriracha or any of his hot stuff. The flavor is much better at room temperature. I get the Tabasco Brand, it's by license from Huy Fong, they grow their own organicThai bird chili’s, add an amount of their own habaneros ferment it like Huy Fong, But Add no preservatives like Huy Fong does. Hubs says it’s great. I get it from Amazon got some extra key chain bottles so he can take his favorites to work. Very hard to find pure quality Hummus, Hubs has been buying Sabra's brand, not bad but very salty & I'm
on a low sodium diet. So that means making our own I use Lemon for Middle Eastern Fare But Lime For Mexican & Thai/Asian fare. Probably make a double batch save half for me without Sriracha for me (Sriracha makes me ill🤢🤮) let him have it all. Mr🌶🌶🌶🌶‼️Sabra has just come out with a new flavor Caramelized Onion, gotta try making that! I got a great gluten free app on our anniversary, served wit( an assortment of veggie dippers. It was guacamole with spicy Pico de Gallo & a touch of Feta but definitely start keeping veggie dippers on hand. Even my baked Chips aren't freebies & definitely think veggies dippers for Hummus is the best idea since natchos. Regards! MA from Boston,MA❤️🙃🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🙃❤️

Caramelized onion hummus sounds right up my alley. I make many dishes with caramelized onions. I'll have to check out the Tabasco sriracha sauce. I always have it stocked.
Amanda says
I am a huge hummus lover and just started making my own. This is perfect for people who love it spicy! Thanks for the recipe!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Amanda!

If you are a hummus fan and keen to eliminate preservatives I would encourage you to go one step further... Since a basic tahini is simply toasted sesame seeds blended with olive oil it is not too big a shift to replace 1-2tbsp sesame seeds as recipe ingredients and blend them in. I personally love the crunch and texture from a few stray seeds but if a creamier texture is required start them off with all other ingredients before the beans go in. Homemade Tahini is to die for also!
Willow Moon says
Thanks for the tip! I will also have to try making my own tahini. I have to always have some stocked because I love it so much, and we could all use more ingredients closer to the source!
