Hummus very well may be one of my top 5 favorite foods, and this Harissa Peanut Hummus is my very top favorite of them all. You cannot beat the harissa peanut infused oil on top!
It’s not spicy, but it adds the most delicious flavor and color to the olive oil and the peanut flavor added to the hummus (and not to mention the crunch) is too delicious for words! It’s a must try.
Harissa Peanut Hummus
Hummus is so versatile and meets the dietary needs of many making it a perfect option to bring to gatherings or to make for hosting. Plus, it is good on a wrap, in a sandwich, on a veggie tray and especially when paired with crackers or pita bread.
Hummus is one of my favorite things to make at home. Yes, you can buy it at the store, but making it at home allows you to tailor it to your preferences and ensures that all of the ingredients used are healthy, noninflammatory and suit your dietary needs. Plus, it is SO easy and truly tastes so much better! I genuinely do not order hummus out or buy it at the store anymore because I prefer mine!
Luckily, this recipe only takes 5 minutes (aside from letting the oil infuse overnight) and a handful of ingredients so you can make your own at home and know exactly what you’re eating!
What you’ll need:
- Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans
- Lemon
- Tahini (you can opt to leave out if you have an allergy, fyi!)
- Garlic
- Olive Oil
- Cumin
- Salt
- Water
- Peanuts
- Harissa
- Parsley
Tips & Tricks
To make your hummus extra smooth, first combine all of the ingredients aside from the chickpeas and the water. Then, once everything is smooth, add in half of the chickpeas with half of the water. Blend, then add the other half of the chickpeas until you’ve reached the restaurant quality consistency we all know and love. It’s really that easy!

A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
