Why you'll love this flavorful hummus

Roasting artichoke hearts elevates a classic hummus to a delicious dip with layers of flavor and texture. This roasted artichoke lemon hummus will be the recipe you turn to for party appetizers, game day, and every day snacks.

The next time you have an event to bring a dish to, or are craving fresh veggies and hummus for a snack, make this easy hummus recipe. You may as well plan on doubling the recipe now.

 

Tips for the best hummus

• Peel your chickpeas. It is not only strangely calming, peeling chickpeas result in a smoother hummus.
• Use a high speed blender for a silky smooth texture.
• I really like lemon flavor... If you don't share my enthusiasm maybe start with one lemon.
• Drizzle the finished dish with olive oil for an extra layer of richness.
• Garnishes make it fancy! Add crispy chickpeas, lemon slices, smoked paprika or other spices, and fresh herbs.

 

How to roast artichoke hearts

Roasting adds depth and flavor to the briny artichoke heart, and elevates this classic hummus recipe.

I love artichoke hearts and that tangy flavor they bring. Roasting artichokes adds a whole new flavor that everyone loves. Tangy, bright, and garlicy.

It is as if artichokes were meant to be roasted, and lemons were made for artichokes. Garlic officiates the union and this hummus is the honeymoon.

For this hummus recipe, use 1 (6 ounce) jar of artichoke hearts in oil

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Arrange the artichoke hearts in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet.
3. Roast at 350 °F for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the artichokes from the oven. Using tongs, carefully turn artichoke hearts over.
5. Return to oven and roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.

If using canned artichoke hearts in brine / water, pat them dry and drizzle with olive oil or a marinade of lemon juice and olive oil. Continue with step 2 of this tutorial.

 

How long does homemade hummus last?

My rule for maximum flavor and freshness is to enjoy artichoke hummus within three days.

Refrigerate in a glass container with a tightly fitting lid.
