Best Hummus with Sun-dried Tomatoes (plant-based)
Hummus is the perfect “go-to” when you`re in the mood for a delicious, creamy and quick dip or bread spread. This hummus recipe with sun-dried tomatoes works perfectly as a delicious dip for raw vegetables, and I also love using this hummus as a bread spread on homemade Norwegian crispbreads.
A Quick and Simple Hummus Recipe
For this simple recipe, all you need are 20 minutes and a handful of ingredients. To keep it easy I use canned chickpeas and I leave the chickpea skins on. If you are short on time you can get away with not boiling the canned chickpeas, but boiling them does give your hummus that extra smooth texture. So if you have time, let them boil.
