Let’s check out 12 of my favorite raw humus recipes right now!
1. Roasted Garlic Hummus
Roasted garlic hummus is a savory and flavorful dip that’s super easy to make.
All you have to do is mix roasted garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Start by roasting the garlic for about 10 minutes before adding it to the mixer.
This recipe uses red chili peppers for heat and kick, but you can use other hot peppers if you prefer.
Serve this hummus with pita chips or fresh veggies.
It’s delicious any time of day.
One bite of this hummus will satisfy your cravings until dinner!
2. Raw Hummus with Cucumbers and Avocado
If you’re looking for a way to enjoy this healthy and delicious dip, you can’t go wrong with this recipe.
It has spinach, red onions, cucumbers, garlic, and herbs.
It’s naturally flavorful and loaded with veggies so you won’t miss out on the protein.
Between the hummus base, avocado cream sauce (which is delicious, by the way), and fresh cilantro that you add after cooking it all together, this dip is absolutely scrumptious.
I like to serve it as an appetizer or a side with something hearty.
Either way, I think it would be perfect as an easy vegan dinner option.
3. Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Roasting the peppers gives them an extra layer of flavor and makes them super easy to make.
4. Roasted Garlic Hummus with Lemon Tahini Sauce
This roasted garlic hummus is a beautiful addition to any dinner table.
It’s creamy, peppery, and wonderfully garlicky.
There are no dashes of spice in this dish.
Instead, it’s just garlic, lemon, and tahini.
This recipe doesn’t require the traditional Middle Eastern spices such as cumin or nutmeg.
So if you have them on hand, I recommend adding them in!
The only thing that might take away from this delicious dish is the “raw” texture.

It also includes lemon juice, garlic powder, and a dash of salt.
You can serve it with veggies or add some toasted pita bread for a wonderful crunchy snack.

You can’t go wrong with hummus and basil, so I was all in.

Ingredients
- 1 garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chickpeas 15-ounce
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice equivalent to about 2 lemons
- 3/4 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 3 to 4 tablespoons chickpeas
- wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and position the rack in the center.
- Peel the outer skin of the garlic head while keeping the cloves intact. Cut off ½ inch from the top so that the cloves are exposed, then discard the top.
- Place the garlic head on a foil square and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Wrap the foil around the garlic and place it on a pan.
- Roast the garlic for 40 minutes. Check the garlic by carefully opening the top of the foil packet, and use a sharp knife to pierce a clove. If the garlic is not golden brown and soft, re-wrap the foil and continue roasting for 5 more minutes until done.
- Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic paste into a high-powered blender or food processor. Add the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, and 3 tablespoons of reserved chickpea liquid.
- Blend the mixture until smooth. Add additional chickpea liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Continue blending for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add additional salt to taste if necessary.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and swirl the surface. Drizzle the top with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika and minced parsley.
- Serve the hummus with pita wedges, chips, crackers, and/or raw vegetable dippers. Enjoy!
