Why You’ll Love this Sriracha Hummus
No tahini needed. Traditional hummus is made with tahini, but you absolutely don’t need it to make a creamy, flavorful hummus. This version gets its richness from chickpeas and olive oil.
Ready in 10 minutes. There is no cooking involved. Just drain the chickpeas, add everything to a food processor, and blend!
A little spicy, a lot flavorful. Sriracha gives this hummus a delicious kick without requiring a long list of spices or ingredients. You can easily adjust the amount to make it as mild or spicy as you like.
So much more than a dip. Keep it in the fridge and use it throughout the week as a spread, sauce, or creamy addition to your favorite meals.
Made with simple ingredients. Canned chickpeas, Sriracha, olive oil, water, and salt are all you need to make this easy homemade hummus.

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this easy Sriracha Hummus:
- Chickpeas – Canned chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, make this recipe incredibly quick and convenient. Drain and rinse them before blending. You could also use dried chickpeas , but you will first need to soak them overnight and then cook them before making the hummus.
- Sriracha – Sriracha chili sauce is a popular chili sauce found in just about any grocery store, made from red chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and salt. This is where the hummus gets its signature spicy flavor. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste. Some substitutes are: Gochujang, Sambal Oelek, Harissa
- Extra-virgin olive oil – Adds richness and helps create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Water – A little water helps loosen the hummus and makes it easier to blend until smooth.

I keep coming back to this recipe, so I figured it was about time I give it a rating! It’s super fast and easy to make and really tasty! The only thing I’ve been doing differently is add more sriracha, but it is delicious just as it’s written. Thank you!

Hi Becky, Thanks so much and I’m so happy you love this one as much as I do! I like to add more Sriracha too when I know that the kids won’t be eating it 😉
