Thai Peanut Butter Hummus Recipe

Ingredients, Swaps, & Tips

Chickpeas: The base of the hummus! I always try to look for low sodium chickpeas or no added salt! This helps control the level of sodium in the recipe.  

Peanut butter: For that rich, nutty flavor that makes this hummus so craveable. Look for a natural, no-sugar-added variety for the best consistency.

Sesame oil: Just a touch adds a toasty, nutty depth that pairs perfectly with the peanut butter.

Sriracha: Brings the heat! Adjust up or down depending on your spice preference.

Garlic: For that punchy, savory backbone. I recommend freshly pressed garlic for the most flavor! 

Low sodium soy sauce: This is essential for a savory, umami flavor (low sodium options help decrease the salt in the recipe)!

Honey: A touch of sweetness to balance out the spice and saltiness. Maple syrup works as a swap if you'd like to keep it vegan.

Fresh ginger: Adds warmth and a little zing. Freshly grated makes a big difference! 

Lime juice: Brightens everything up and balances the richness of the peanut butter.

Olive oil: Helps blend everything into that perfect smooth, whipped texture.

Salt: Simple seasoning to round out all the flavors.
