Why You Will Love This Recipe

Hummus is fantastic because it is healthy and can be used in so many ways.  

Beyond as a dip for pita and veggies, you can use it on sandwiches in place of mayo or other condiments, mixed with some extra citrus/vinegar/oil as a salad dressing, or even on a burger.  

My hubby loves to put hummus on his bagel in addition to the cream cheese.

This fast and easy appetizer recipe is packed with protein and makes a great healthy snack to serve up at a party or game day.

What are Hatch Chile Peppers?

These famous peppers are named after the city they originated in: Hatch, New Mexico.

They are long, rather thin, lighter green peppers.

If you are familiar with Anaheim peppers, they actually are very similar! Anaheim peppers were taken from Hatch to Anaheim, California and grown to be incredibly mild with very little heat.

They are popular for their amazing flavor and wide heat variety.

Equipment

This is what you need to make the recipe:

  • Measuring Cups
  • Food Processor or Blender
  • Spatula

Instruction Overview

It only takes a few minutes to make Roasted Hatch Chile Hummus.  Just throw all the ingredients in a food processor, blend, and you are good to go!  

If you want the texture to be thinner, add a little water at a time.

If you want it smoother, process it longer.

Modifications and Substitutions

If you are not lucky enough to have access to the fresh peppers, you can used the canned version.  Use any heat level that you prefer.

But if you do live somewhere that gets these beauties, stock up on them in the fall when you can!  We spend an afternoon peeling and prepping two bushels of peppers to stick in the freezer so that they are ready to go whenever I need them.

Tahini may be standard for a hummus, but honestly I do not notice a difference when I skip it.

Kim’s Tips

I have noticed that as this hummus sits, the heat does pick up just a little bit as the flavors continue to blend together but it is nothing too drastic.  

This recipe is designed for a mild heat, so if you want it spicy just add some more chiles, hot sauce, or a dash of cayenne pepper.
