Spicy Hummus

Everyday

Spicy hummus is a zesty variation of traditional Middle Eastern chickpea spread, enhanced with chili peppers, cayenne, or harissa for varying heat levels. This creamy blend of cooked chickpeas, tahini, and lemon juice provides substantial plant-based protein and fiber while remaining naturally vegan and gluten-free. The bold flavor profile balances rich nuttiness with fiery accents, making it popular as a vegetable dip, sandwich spread, or protein-packed snack accompaniment.
