I never really understood why people say that chocolate is better than sex. Chocolate? Chocolate?! No ma’am. If any food is even going to come close, it’s gonna be this sriracha hummus.
Okay, so maybe I’m just not a chocolate person.
Anyway, I don’t know why I hadn’t put two and two together before or why no one has told me to try this, but sriracha + hummus = heaven. Add an egg, stuff it into a pita, and you’ve got the best damn breakfast sandwich on the planet.
The end.
Sriracha Hummus
Sriracha Hummus
Sriracha hummus is a fun, spicy twist on the creamy traditional chickpea dip.
Servings 5Ingredients
- 1 15oz. can chickpeas ($1.29)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.28)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice ($0.22)
- 1/4 cup tahini ($0.81)
- 1 clove garlic ($0.08)
- 1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)
- 1/8 tsp ground cumin ($0.02)
- 2 Tbsp Sriracha (about) ($0.24)
Instructions
- Drain the chickpeas and add to a food processor along with the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic (whole is fine), salt, and cumin. Process until smooth, adding water or more olive oil as needed. I usually add 1/4 – 1/2 cup water, but you can olive oil for a creamier hummus.
- Start with 1 Tbsp of sriracha and add more to your liking. I like it hot so I added about 2 Tbsp.

I also can’t wait to try it on my grilled vegetable and hummus pizza!
I guess you don’t use Huy Fong, ’cause there’s no way that comes out to 24 cents for 2 tablespoons.
This was without a doubt the best hummus I have ever tasted!
I used 4 cups slow cooked garbanzo beans (I doubled the recipe) and left out the cumin. This hummus was out of this world delicious. I’ll be making this with and without sriracha sauce indefinitely. I spread it inside of some homemade whole wheat pita and it was fantastic.
I saved this recipe over a year ago and just got around to making it. So, so delicious and easy to make…I don’t think I’ll ever eat store-bought hummus again!
I just made this recipe last night and it is fantastic! I used the full 2 Tblsp sriracha and it was perfect :)
Thanks so much for sharing this. I have been looking for new vegetarian recipes and I am excited to try some more from this site :)
Lovely Recipe you have shared.. thanks for sharing.. Made the similar recipe of “Hummus” try to visit my place when time permits .. Recipes Passion love to have your feedback; just visiting..
Happy blogging have a good day.. dear :)
Quick and cheap (minus the tahini) and tasty. Discovered my food processor died once i had all my ingredients in its bowl, so I moved everything to my blender and success. I don’t know if it is supposed to be implied in the directions, but I blended in the sriracha after initially blending the step 1 ingredients together for a bit.
I’ve kept quiet, but really, this is AMAZING. I’m thinking up a hundred different excuses to eat it, totally stuffing myself! Many thanks from one of your usually silent followers. :)
This is awesome! However, being a new Sriracha fan, I apparently bought a non-spicy version. I used it anyway and the hummus was amazing, just not spicy. Great recipe that I have made twice now (in the same week). I’m looking forward to trying many more of your recipes. Thank you!!
Made this tonight for a beer and games night and it was a big hit! And I ended up using more the 2 tblspoons of sriracha and it wasn’t too spicy for my friends! I love your blog, thank you!
I love hummus and sriracha alot. I could add it to literally anything but never thought about combining them together. this is certainly being bookmarked :)
Well….maybe a Christmas present for youself ?theoatmeal.com/quiz/sriracha_addict
Liz – I keep saying that I’ll cook up some dry garbanzos, since I cook most of my other beans from dry, but have yet to do so. I’m sure it would taste much better (more fresh tasting), although it might need a little more salt.
do you ever use dried chickpeas?
Wow, this looks awesome! I really like your site by the way. It is really rare that you find a recipe blog where you literally want to try EVERY recipe. Thanks so much!
