    Hummus gets all dressed up with this Slow Roasted Cherry Tomato Hummus appetizer

    Hummus might just be the best gift from the Middle East.

    It’s creamy, it’s smooth and the best part…it’s healthy. It’s so simple to make if you grab a can of chickpeas at the store. And even better in flavor it you take the time to soak and cook dried chick peas.

    And even simpler if you buy a container of pre-made hummus at the store and blend in slow roasted cherry tomatoes and some drained capers. If you buy pre-made, pick up a can of chickpeas so you can add some to the top to complete the garnish.

    Hummus with Slow Roasted Tomatoes and Capers

    Growing up in the middle of Kansas on a diet of fried chicken and mashed potatoes, I’m hardly an expert on the subject of hummus. I try always to make it from scratch, and it’s always good.

    I follow this homemade hummus recipe that I tinkered with for a long time to settle on a good combo of flavors and texture.

    Slow Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

    If you’ve never slow roasted adorable little plump cherry tomatoes, you’re in for a treat.

    All you need is a pint of tomatoes, some olive oil and a low and slow oven temperature. When you slow roast cherry tomatoes they become even sweeter because they caramelize.

    Using a 275 degree oven, spread the tomatoes out on a rimmed sheet pan and toss with olive oil. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and let them steep themselves into grandeur. In about an hour or more, you’ve got a beautiful treat to use for toppings chicken, dips or even in this fabulous recipe for Slow Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta. 

    Hummus is a Healthy Snack

    I always welcome a big bowl of hummus to feel better about myself. It’s crazy healthy, loaded with fiber and protein. It’s low in saturated fat and high in complex carbs.

    And it makes the perfect appetizer for any gathering. Even though I’ll never get rid of my Ruffles and Heluva Good Onion Dip habit, healthy hummus, fresh vegetables and pita is always a first choice for us.

    Just in time for the appetizer season ahead of us. Try making some plain hummus, and top it with some slow roasted cherry tomatoes and a spoon full of capers. Add some chickpeas to complete the presentation.

      I love this adaptation. I’m really beginning to miss tomatoes at this point and the idea of slow roasted cherry tomatoes really hit a cord. I’m trying this one this weekend.

      Lea Ann, love this! I hate when people “ruin” hummus by mixing in other stuff, but I’d like having these tomatoes and capers on top. Of course, I think my hummus is the best because I make it just the way I like it, but my sister-in-law, who had a lot of experience with Middle Eastern food, loved it too. She agreed with me that most people put in way too much garlic. I want to taste the subtle flavor of the chickpeas.

      Love how you dressed up this hummus Lea Ann, one of my favorites to nibble on as well. The cherry tomatoes really make this dip look so festive. Once I made my own by cooking and peeling my own chickpeas, very time consuming but I thought it was the creamist hummus I’ve ever tried. Don’t think anyone else thought it was anything special though………..

      We enjoy the occasional hummus but haven’t had it in some time – I like your additions to it. But truth be told, I’d prefer the fried chicken and mashed potatoes.
