Baked Hummus with Toasted Pine nuts
Baked Hummus with buttery toasted pine nuts, now please!
Hummus is pretty darn good stuff, but dagnabit, bake this stuff and it’s a whole new level of darn good stuff!
Making up a batch of hummus takes very little time, and I love that you can change up the flavors from roasted red pepper hummus to wasabi ginger hummus. For this recipe, I’ve adapted it from a basic garlic flavored hummus, my favorite all time flavor, then before baking, top it off with a nice dose of buttery, toasted pine nuts. Enjoying it hot enhances the flavors a beautiful way and is a must for your next party.
When the weather is cold, there is nothing quite like feasting on warm, comfort food with plenty of crusty bread on the side. This surely meets that comfy food requirement, and makes for a great appetizer for your next get together.
Enjoy!

I had no idea you could bake hummus! And I absolutely love toasted pine nuts. This looks really good. Pinning for sure
Thank you so much Karyl! Baking it is amazing, hope you enjoy!
I’ve never thought to bake hummus even though we make it a lot at home. This is the perfect way to enjoy it even in the winter weather.
Warm hummus is the way to go. The flavor is better warm. I think I’ll whip some up tomorrow. I have all of the ingredients! Hmmm…no pita bread. Trip to the store after all. 🙂
Oh wow! This looks so delicious!!
I’ve never had baked hummus before. I’m very excited to try it!

Thank you Michelle, it is so good!
Thanks for this. I overdid the garlic in my batch today and was looking for solutions. I didn’t know if baking hommous was a thing and here you are 🙂 It’s in the oven now and I’m hoping the baking removes the crazy raw garlic aftertaste.
Hi Jennifer! YAH! I”m so glad you were able to find this, it is really nice and I hope it helped mellow the garlic for you!
