This smokey honey hummus is everything I love about simple dips and spreads. It’s a new take on classic hummus, and it’s my first ever dip on the blog!! Well, outside of ricotta, but I’m not sure that counts. Crazy right?
What’s amazing about this recipe is it combines two flavors that are not expected in your usual hummus – sweet and smokey. We are using honey for the sweetness, and smoked paprika for a rich, earthy smokiness that goes throughout the spread.
I’ve been loving it on toast, with veggies, and really any time of day. It’s versatile, delicious and I’m so excited to finally have it on the site!

Looks delicious can’t wait to try! What’s up with the ice cube technique? 😀
It makes the hummus creamier! When tahini hits water, it seizes up at first and gets thicker 🙂
This was so addicting!!
Omg I’m glad you feel the same way! It has me HOOKED
What are those flower type things u crush into it just before the icecubes go in ?
That was full paprika and Aleppo peppers! I just put the spices in the recipe to make it easier 🙂
Amount of ice cubes is missing from recipe.
