Ingredients for Spinach Artichoke Hummus

Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) – I used canned

Aquafaba – this is the watery portion from the canned chickpeas. You’ll use just a little bit of it.

Tahini – sesame seed butter

Spinach – either frozen spinach or steamed spinach. For both varieties, you’ll need to squeeze out any extra liquid. I recommend cut-leaf spinach (roughly chopped).

Artichokes – from a jar

Parmesan cheese – either shaved or shredded. Omit if you are dairy-free.

Lemon juice

Garlic cloves

Spices – salt, dried basil

Olive oil

Modifications

  • Add some sun-dried tomatoes for extra color and flavor. I have a delicious homemade recipe for sun-dried tomatoes, and it is literally to-die-for delicious! I think it would be a great addition to this hummus.
  • Add a little bit of diced shallots for more flavor and depth.
  • Adjust the spinach and artichokes to preference. I enjoy quite a lot in it, but feel free to go lighter.
