    Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Hummus with veggies.

    This Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Hummus is one of my favorite hummus recipes. It is quite versatile.

    Sun-dried tomatoes and basil are a match made in heaven. If you love the combination as much as I do, check out my Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Chickpea Salad Sandwich or my Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta.

    Both are made in 15 minutes or less, making them perfect for a weeknight.

    I also have an easy 5 Ingredient Sun-Dried Tomato Soup recipe that comes together quickly.

    Other recipes to try are my Black Olive Focaccia with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and my Vegan Avocado Pesto recipe.

    🧾 Ingredients

    • Garbanzo beans: Adds the texture, flavor, and creaminess hummus is known for.
    • Tahini: Also a traditional hummus ingredient. Adds a nutty sesame flavor.
    • Sun-dried tomatoes: Adds a sweet tart flavor. I used sun-dried tomatoes in oil, but you could use the dry ones as well. Just make sure to soak them in warm water first.
    • Fresh basil: Adds a sweet and savory flavor with hints of anise.
    • Lemon juice: Adds a bright tart flavor.
    • Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
    • Water: To thin it out.
    • Olive oil: Adds creaminess.
    • Salt: Enhances the other flavors.

      Should garbanzo beans be drained?

        Yes, rinse and drain. You can also save the liquid (aquafaba) and use it in recipes.

      Yum! Sun-dried tomato is my favorite hummas, I've never grief to make it though. I don't have a food processor, you're right. That does need to change. Thanks for sharing!

        Thanks Leslie! You definitely should get a food processor! Homemade hummus is so much better than store bought, and it costs less, so the initial investment for the food processor will pay for itself in the long run. Not to mention all the other recipes you can make in it. I think my food processor is my second most used appliance next to my Nutribullet.
