Traeger Hummus
Our new Traeger Hummus Recipe incorporates the rich, smoky flavors of the grill to transform it into something really extraordinary. Smoked hummus is a perfect example of this. By roasting garbanzo beans on a pellet grill, we infuse a classic hummus with a deep, smoky flavor that's impossible to achieve with conventional cooking methods. Paired with the creamy texture of tahini, bright, citrusy lemon, and the aromatic punch of smoked garlic, this hummus stands out for its unique flavors.
Traeger Hummus
I cannot get enough of this variation on the traditional Middle Eastern dip, hummus! We take the familiar blend of chickpeas, tahini, and lemon juice with the addition of smoked garlic and the distinctive flavor that only comes from cooking over live wood fire.
Roasting the chickpeas intensifies their nuttiness, while the smoked garlic adds another layer that garlic lovers will love. Whether you're looking to impress your friends and family at your next barbecue or you just want to enjoy a fun, healthy snack with a twist, Traeger hummus is well worth the effort.

Traeger Hummus
This Traeger Hummus is easy to make at home and tastes incredible! Plus, I love the slightly toasty wood-fired flavor that you get from roasting the chickpeas.
Ingredients
- 15.5 ounce can garbanzo beans, drained
- ⅓ cup tahini
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves smoked garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your Traeger to 325°F.
Drain the chickpeas and place them onto a lightly oiled, grill-safe baking sheet.
Roast for about 20 minutes or until the chickpeas are lightly browned.
Place the beans, tahini, water, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt into a blender or food processor.
Pulse to combine and then blend until smooth. You may need to add more water to make it blend easily and get to a smooth consistency. Add a couple teaspoons at a time so it doesn't thin out too much.
Refrigerate after preparing and enjoy within 3-4 days for the best results.
