Top 10 Vegetables That Pair Perfectly with Hummus

Looking for the perfect vegetable to pair with hummus? Look no further! This article showcases the top 10 vegetables that not only complement the flavors of hummus but also enhance the overall nutritional value of your meal. Whether you are looking for a crunchy snack, a hearty meal, or a nutritious addition to your salad, these vegetables will take your hummus experience to the next level.

1. Carrots

Carrots are high in vitamins A, E, and K, which all contribute to improved vision. Their crunchiness makes them easy to dip in hummus. We especially love rainbow carrots, which go great with our Thai Coconut Curry flavor. They add a refreshing crunch and vibrant color to your dish.

2. Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash is a healthy alternative to traditional pasta. It is high in B vitamins and potassium, and has very low fat, carbs, and calories. Simply cut the squash in half, remove the seeds, and season with extra virgin olive oil. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes at 400°F face-down on a baking sheet. Remove and let it cool. Then use a fork to pull strands up, which will be perfect for dipping in our Kale Pesto hummus for an instant delicious meal.

3. Radishes

Radishes are packed with magnesium, potassium, and Vitamin C. They are great for promoting healthy liver function and can aid in detoxification of the gut. We love chopping and eating them raw with our many flavors, and they pair perfectly with our Original Recipe and Jalape?o Cilantro flavors!

4. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a powerhouse of health benefits! They are high in fiber, vitamin B6, and antioxidants, which can help regulate blood sugar, prevent rheumatoid arthritis, and maintain collagen in your body. They are versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. We love topping them with our Spicy Avocado hummus for an added kick.

5. Avocados

Avocados, despite being botanically classified as a fruit, are a delicious addition to hummus. They are fantastic in our Spicy Avocado hummus recipe. Nowadays, our favorite way to use them is mashed on toast with a generous spread of our Red Pepper hummus and sliced veggies. These creamy and nutritious avocados add a depth of flavor and rich texture to any hummus dish.

6. Bell Peppers

Bell peppers are packed with antioxidant properties, immune-boosting vitamins, and Vitamin E. They can help lower "bad" cholesterol and contribute to healthy shiny hair. They make a great raw dipping veggie, especially with our new Black Garlic flavor. Try mixing up the red, orange, and green peppers for different levels of sweetness!

7. Greens

Hummus works well as a salad dressing when whisked together with lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Drizzle it on your salad for a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional dressings. The creamy texture and rich flavor of hummus add a delightful twist to your greens.

8. Zucchini

Zucchini is full of antioxidants and Vitamin C and contains anti-inflammatory properties that can improve heart health. It is delicious when sliced and baked as zucchini chips or spiralized for zoodles (zucchini noodles)! Try our recipe for Spicy Zucchini Noodles with Strawberries. The subtle heat of our Spicy Avocado hummus pairs so well with the sweet strawberries!

9. Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a great meat substitute, helping you cut down on animal protein intake. It is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds that help prevent blood vessel diameter reduction. One of our favorite ways to use cauliflower with our hummus is in our Jalape?o Cilantro Cauliflower Wings. Perfect for game day snacks!

10. Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are excellent for fighting inflammation, lowering cholesterol, and detoxifying the body. They are especially high in Vitamin K, which helps promote healthy bones! We love roasting them with our Sriracha hummus, extra virgin olive oil, and a drizzle of raw maple syrup. The sweet and spicy combo is simply divine!

These vegetables not only complement the flavors of hummus but also enhance the nutritional value of your meal.
