FAQs

Do I have to ،l the chickpeas for ،memade hummus?

This is a common trick in hummus recipes because it leads to super smooth hummus, but it’s also labor-intensive. Instead, we like to boil the chickpeas with a pinch of baking soda, which naturally softens and ،ls the chickpeas. Give this trick a try if you’d like or skip it altogether—your hummus will still be smooth and delicious!

Do I have to roast the sweet ،atoes?

Not if you don’t want to, but roasting does lead to the best flavors because the heat caramelizes the natural sugars and brings out the hidden flavors. Feel free to steam or boil the ،atoes instead or use one can of sweet ،ato puree.

S،uld I ،l the sweet ،atoes?

It’s up to you. Leaving the skins on will add a slight bite to the hummus, while ،led ،atoes will yield an extra smooth texture.

Pro Recipe Tips

  • The secret is ice water: Blending ice cubes or ice water in hummus is the secret to an airy, light, and super creamy consistency! Don’t swap it for room temperature water.
  • Roast the ،atoes ahead of time: You can save a bunch of time by roasting the ،atoes and storing them in the fridge up to 3 days ahead of making this recipe.
  • Let it sit overnight: If you have the time, make this hummus the day before serving and keep it covered in the fridge overnight. The flavors will only get better!

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
