Today I share with you 3 amazing hummus recipes along with a trick that will make your hummus as smooth as store bought. I make a roasted red pepper hummus, a roasted beet root hummus and of course a classic garlic hummus. Making oil free hummus isn’t impossible, but it does take some extra effort and in this video I show you exactly how!
Recipe:
1 can of Chickpeas (approx. 1 cup of cooked chickpeas)
1 tbsp baking soda
2 cloves of garlic
2-3 tbsp aqua faba
1 tbsp tahini
1/2 Lemon (juice)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
(Optional 1.5 Roasted Red Pepper or 1 Roasted beet)
Method:
Drain the chickpeas while keeping the liquid (Aquafaba).
Bring a pot of water to boil, add 1 tbsp of baking soda and the can of drained chickpeas.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove and discard the shells from chickpeas (*Watch video for technique)
Add the chickpeas along with all the other ingredients into a food processor or capable blender.
Add 1/3 tbsp of aquafaba as it blends until desired consistency is reached.
Enjoy!

So…… OMG 😳 I have just made the beetroot one and yes the chickpea thing is a phaff BUT… it was sooooo worth it, you were right. FINALLY, restaurant quality humus. Also, the aquafaba replacement for oil ❤️Mr Simnett your a genius x
Thank u so much again Simnett . I will be definitely making this …… Mahalo
I just made this today for the very first time, and oh my goodness!!!!!! This recipe is dee-luscious!!!
Loved it as usual.
In my supermarket they sell frozen peeled chickpeas
It’s not oil free if you’re using tahini.
Exactly the video I was looking for ! Love all ur videos
Made the roasted red pepper hummus. It has an unexpected Southwest Tex-Mex flavour to it. Is there a way to make it taste less this way? Is it the cumin or the paprika?
Plz mention calories? 100 gram?
cute kitten
I wonder how much fiber is lost by removing the skins?
Thanks for such a great video, I love the variety of different hummus that you made! I do hope to make the red pepper and the basic one. I will have to contemplate the beet one. I am not too crazy for beets, Lol!! I know that they are good for me though!
Thanks Derek, just made the plain one and I used veg stock instead of tahini to make it fat free (cos I'm following 'Slimming World' in th UK) I'm so addicted the tahini that I cant use it anything cos I just finish the pot 🤦♀️ 🤣
LOL Definitely forgot to take that out – 5:30 😂
If u want to live longer eat EVOO…and hummus is a good delivery method…
OMG I LOVE this hummus!! Do not miss the oil at all!! Can’t wait to share video with my family! Thank you!☮️🌱🦋🍄🌍
There is no such thing as too much hummus lol anyone says that I’ll come over and help you
👉 Actually, if you're going to go to the trouble of popping the skins off the chickpeas, don't throw anything out. Use the skins and blend them a little veggie broth and add it to soups. Good fiber !!!
Thank you so very much. I absolutely love your recipes and I have been searching for just the right ones I believe you did it. I love how colorful they are and of course how smooth they are. You are the best. Thank you so very much Derek. I look forward to making this and taking photos to post on Instagram. The only thing that I am missing is some lemon which I hope to get soon. ❤❤❤
Just curious…why do you avoid the olive oil (well known for its health benefits) that typically is used in hummus recipes?
Omg! I absolutely loved the hummus recipe with the red peppers. ❤😋
I love watching your videos ♥️
Semi-pro tips: You don't need to remove skinsif you cook chickpeas from dried chickpeas. The secret is to add aquafaba that is thickened. I foound that the aquafaba from canned chickpeas doesn't work the same. it doesn't thicken. Also, don't blend hot or refridgerated chickpeas, let them coem to room temperature. I don't know why, I observed it while making hummus almost daily for the past 3 years 😀
Hey Derek, I stopped eating chickpeas (in any form) as they gave me uncomfortable gas. Will taking the skins off the chickpeas make them less farty?
I made the classic again this morning. I put in a little too much liquid, so looks like it'll be a bowl with hummus dressing tonight. That's a win-win.
I tried. I really tried! I didn't have as large a pot as you, and I did use three cans of garbanzo beans. I boiled them like you said with a teaspoon of baking soda for each can. After 10 minutes not much was happening. So I added an extra 5 minutes, lowering the temperature. I drained everything slowly, and it was messy! Nothing floated to the top. I managed to get a half a cup out of the three cans. I'm not sending you a picture of this mushy stuff that didn't make it to the processor. Is there another way I can get the skins off? Or perhaps it's the can brand we use? I hope you can help me please! I would love to make all three of your hummuses. PS- I learned from research, hummus can be stored up to 4 months in the freezer. It's safe to eat after that but the consistency starts to change. Thank you so much for your wonderful incredible videos. I'm saving money for your cookbook and will try to donate soon.
I love Sunday reset routines, even if mine are not necessarily on Sunday. Thank you for sharing! ❤
I thank you Derek for this wonderful gift you shared on hummus! I usually buy it ! Put it in a rap with hot sauce! Love it! I look forward to all your videos!!
I buy roasted pepper 🌶️ hummus! Love spicy food!
I’ve only been vegan since September! I want to be so much healthier! Knowing I did keto for years! I’m enjoying oatmeal again fruit smoothie!! Tofu rap! With hot sauce!
Thanks, Derek! That was awesome 😀 I'm definitely going to have to try the roasted red pepper hummus. My favorite kind to make it roasted garlic hummus. Those are some cool tips regarding cooking the beans, again, and removing the skins. I'm going to experiment, a bit, and see if that makes a difference for my hummus, too. Blessings!
cooking the cp again did NOT make the skins come away. Waste of time. Ended up picking them out. Load of nonsense.
Are the tortilla chips oil free?
Why aquafaba instead of water?
Made the plain and beetroot ones they were both really nice. Need to try the roasted red pepper.
Thank you for inspiring me. Your efforts are appreciated!
I tried making the hummus which I was really looking forward to. I’m not sure why there’s baking soda in the hummus in the first place, but I put a tablespoon of baking soda like you said, and I even doubled the recipe and only put one tablespoon of baking soda, and it tasted so horrible. I had to throw it all away, is that supposed to be 1 teaspoon of baking soda? Thanks
