    This roasted corn and jalapeño hummus is the perfect summer hummus recipe! Salty, briny pickled jalapenos are blended up with roasted sweet corn and garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lime juice, olive oil, and cumin in this incredible dip.

    Getting back into the swing of things with a brand new hummus recipe! This roasted corn and jalapeño hummus is bursting with summer ingredients: corn, jalapenos, lime, and cumin. It can be enjoyed as a dip with farmer’s market veggies, chips, and crackers; as a sandwich spread; and as a Buddha bowl component with cooked grains, protein, veggies, and sauce.

    It is simple to whip up, too! It’s your typical hummus, jazzed up with roasted corn and garlic and pickled jalapenos. The corn and garlic take about twenty minutes to roast. Once that’s done, the dip comes together in a flash.

    • Cooked chickpeas

    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.

    roasted corn and jalapeno hummus: frequently asked questions

    How should I store this hummus and how long does it keep in the fridge?

    This hummus should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will keep for at least one week.

    I don’t have any tahini. Can I use any other nut or seed butters?

    Sunflower seed butter and pumpkin seed butter are great substitutions for tahini in this dip.
