Directions

Follow these simple steps to make pecan hummus dip:

1. Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, cooled pecans, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper.

3. Process until smooth, adding water one tablespoon at a time as needed, to achieve your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings.

4. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and create a small well in the center. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, chopped pecans, a sprinkle of paprika and fresh herbs. Serve with pita chips and vegetable crudités or spread on sandwiches.

Enjoy a New Take on Hummus

Our Pecan Hummus recipe combines the creamy, satisfying texture of a classic hummus with the rich, buttery flavor of plump pecans, creating a unique dip that’s both nutritious and delicious. The subtle sweetness of the pecans balances beautifully with the earthy chickpeas and tangy lemon, making it an irresistible addition to any snack table.

We love making this Pecan Hummus dip recipe because it takes an already healthy dish to the next level. Traditional hummus is an excellent snack choice that supports healthy digestion and stable blood sugar levels. When you blend in America’s native nut, you increase the protein content and add healthy monounsaturated fats. Plus, pecans are loaded with powerful antioxidants and essential nutrients, making this one of the most wholesome dips.

For a deeper flavor profile, try roasting your garlic cloves alongside the pecans. If you want the absolute smoothest texture possible, take a few extra minutes to pinch the skins off the chickpeas before processing. It’s a simple trick that results in an ultra-creamy consistency. This hummus makes an excellent protein-rich snack or appetizer and keeps very well in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
