Hummus is a fan-favorite snack for good reason. Creamy, versatile, and packed with nutrients, it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser that pairs perfectly with veggies, crackers, or flatbreads. Whether you’re topping it with nuts, olives, or seeds, or simply spreading it on a sandwich, hummus is the unsung hero of any fridge.
But why settle for the usual when you can elevate your hummus with a vibrant, antioxidant-rich ingredient? Enter Matcha Hummus—an easy and delicious twist that adds a subtle earthy flavor, a boost of nutrients, and a gorgeous green hue. Perfect for parties, meal prep, or any time you’re craving something extra special.
Why Matcha Hummus?
- Nutritious & Energizing: Matcha adds antioxidants and clean energy, while chickpeas are a plant-based protein powerhouse.
- Unique Flavor: The subtle matcha taste complements the creamy texture and tangy lemon perfectly
- Visually Stunning: Its vibrant green color is sure to impress your guests and brighten any table spread.
Ingredients
- 3 cups canned chickpeas, rinsed (reserve the liquid)
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus more for garnish)
- 1/4 cup warm water or reserved chickpea liquid
- 1+ clove garlic 🧄 (add more if you’re feeling bold!)
- Juice of 1 lemon 🍋
- 1/2 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp Matcha Nude organic matcha powder
Directions
Process the Chickpeas: In a food processor, add the rinsed chickpeas and pulse until they’re finely broken down.
Blend in the Good Stuff: Add tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and matcha. Slowly add the warm water or chickpea liquid while blending until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste & Adjust: Taste and tweak the flavors as needed. Add more tahini for a thicker hummus or more water to thin it out.
Serve & Garnish: Scoop into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and top with your favorite garnishes—think seeds, nuts, or a sprinkle of extra matcha for flair. Pair with veggies, crackers, or flatbreads for dipping!
