This organic hummus uses Grape Tomatoes as opposed to Cherry Tomatoes as they have less water, which is better for homemade hummus, as you don’t want the hummus to be watery or thin! I roasted the Grape Tomatoes in my air fryer with some garlic cloves. From there, this easy homemade hummus just uses the food processor to process all the ingredients together.
If you don't have an air fryer or toaster oven, you can roast the tomatoes in your regular oven too. The Grape Tomatoes make this Roasted Tomato Basil Hummus a beautiful color, naturally! Enjoy organic hummus as a dip on a charcuterie board, on toast (my favorite!), on sandwiches, wraps, and more.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
Depth of Flavor: Roasting the tomatoes really brings depth of flavor to this organic hummus!
Healthy Snack: This easy homemade hummus is a healthy snack that you can feel good about eating all the time.
Versatile: I love making homemade hummus because you can enjoy this as a dip, on sandwiches, wraps, toast and more.
No Seed Oils: While some store bought hummus can include seed oils (even some organic hummus!), when you make homemade hummus at home you can use extra virgin olive oil, ensuring the healthiest hummus.
Ingredients & Health Benefits
- Chickpeas: Organic chickpeas are a great source of protein and fiber, aiding in digestion and helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels. They are the base of this homemade hummus!
- Grape Tomatoes: Grape tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune function and promote healthy skin.
- EVOO: Extra virgin olive oil is packed with healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which reduce inflammation and support heart health.
- Garlic: You can use fresh garlic cloves or even garlic from a jar that's already minced, either works. Garlic contains allicin, which boosts the immune system and has strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
- Salt and Pepper: You'll need for flavor.
- Basil: I use fresh organic basil. This is high in antioxidants and essential oils, which have anti inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Tools Needed
- Air Fryer: I use my air fryer to roast the tomatoes, but if you don't have this then you can also do this in your regular oven on a baking sheet.
- Baking Sheet: I use a half sheet pan to roast the tomatoes. I roast the tomatoes so they get soft and can easily blend up in this homemade hummus.
- Parchment Paper: I use nontoxic parchment paper for ease when roasting the tomatoes.
- Food Processor: You'll need a large food processor to make this organic hummus.
