As a full Autumn/Halloween girly at heart, it’s hard not to get creative in the kitchen! For years, I’ve been coming to you during this season with multiple Halloween recipes throughout the month, and this year is no different. This year’s first Halloween recipe is a Haunted Black Hummus! 

You know I love adding my own twists to traditional recipes. When I found out about Black Tahini, I knew what I had to do. This Haunted Black Hummus is an amazing recipe that proves there’s no need to get too complicated to achieve spooky dishes.

The making of: Haunted Black Hummus

I loved the idea of replacing the traditional white tahini in classic hummus with black tahini to give it a more spooky look. To my surprise, it ended up tasting way better than the traditional version. The black tahini provides intensity, visually but more so in taste; richer and nuttier. 

Other than the black tahini, this recipe stays true to traditional hummus; chickpeas, lemon, maple syrup, garlic, and olive oil. All you need to do is to blend all of the ingredients together until completely smooth! 

Serve in a bowl topped with parsley, white sesame seeds, and olive oil. If you want to make it extra spooky, mix an oil-based vegetable food coloring into the olive oil. Enjoy it with homemade tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, crackers, or spread on toast!

Notes:

• You can find black tahini here.
• Make homemade tortilla chips fit for the occasion with this recipe.
• To make hummus extra smooth, remove the skin from the chickpeas before blending.
• Leftovers? This will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
