roasted corn and jalapeno hummus ingredients
For this summer hummus recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- Corn
- Garlic
- Cooked chickpeas
- Tahini
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Limes
- Pickled jalapeños
- Sea salt
- Cumin

how to make this summery hummus
You’re going to start by roasting up some sweet corn kernels. You can use fresh corn cut off of the cob, or you can use frozen corn. My only ask is that you use organic corn! This way, you are avoiding the high levels of pesticides found on conventional corn, as well as genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Preheat the oven to 425 F and place the corn and garlic on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place in the oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until the corn is browned and beginning to char in some places. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for a couple of minutes.
Meanwhile, add all of the other ingredients to a food processor fitted with the ‘S’ blade. Add the cooled corn and garlic, but reserve a handful for garnishing the dip. Process until smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of water, if desired, to thin.
Transfer into a pretty serving dish and top with the reserved roasted corn and additional pickled jalapeños.
