This post was inspired by the big ole tub of hummus in my fridge that was about to expire.
Also, you would think my favourite number is 6, because I keep post recipes on groups of six – smoothies, overnight oats, sandwiches, etc. I can’t say I have a favourite number – do you?
Anyways, back to hummus. What is hummus exactly? Hummus is an incredibly popular Middle Eastern dip and spread.
It is typically made by blending chickpeas (garbanzo beans), tahini (ground sesame seeds), olive oil, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor.

Not only is hummus delicious, but it is also versatile and packed with nutrients – fibre, b-vitamins etc to name a few.
Anyways, without further ado – check out my favourite hummus recipes!

Baked Vegan Feta
Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 red pepper sliced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cups edamame
- 1 garlic clove chopped
- 1 block vegan feta
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz pasta dried
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F, then in a large baking dish, add in your cherry tomatoes, garlic cloves, edamame, red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and 1 tsp of olive oil and toss to combine.Â
- Make a well in the center of your baking dish and add in your vegan feta. Top the vegan feta with the dry basil, oregano and the remaining olive oil, then place in the oven to bake for 30-40 minutes or until tomatoes are blistered and juicy.Â
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
- Once the veggies and hummus are cooked, carefully with a fork mash your tomatoes and garlic to fully release all of their juices, then mix into the hummus to get a thicker sauce. Mix in cooked pasta and enjoy.
