This dip is perfect on sweet potato, plantain, and corn chips! The yummy, sweet and spicy barbecue flavor will leave you wanting more and more!
Maybe I’ve been on a Hummus kick lately, because I feel like I just shared one. In all honesty, it’s really because I need the aquafaba!!! I think I have three open cans of beans in my refrigerator right now! LOL!
I came up with this delicious dip about a month ago. I can’t remember what made me think of the barbecue, but I’m so glad I did! It gives a big twist on a traditional hummus, perhaps creating new hummus lovers out of those who’d previously disliked the norm.
I’ve yet to try this on traditional pita chips — it may or may not work — but when I created it I had sweet potatoes on my mind. Initially, I wanted to make my own sweet potato chips in the air-fryer, but after two major fails, I decided it’d be best to buy some.
Even without my chips working, I still had to share this with you because it turned out to be a delicious hummus, and we found out it goes great on not only sweet potato chips, but Fritos corn chips and plantain chips, too! The plantains I didn’t buy and try until today, but they may actually be my fave!
Making this is as easy as any hummus. Throw all the ingredients into your food processor and mix until blended! Once you’re done and transfer it to a serving bowl, you can drizzle it with some more olive oil, sprinkle it with a couple of the spices (I used cayenne and coconut sugar — for less spicy just try smoked paprika), then maybe sprinkle it with parsley for something green. But that’s just for show.
I’ve shared this already with about five or six friends, and it’s come out a big win! You guessed it… vegan made — omni approved!

This was amazing! This BBQ hummus is such a delicious and satisfying snack that I don’t need to feel guilty about eating! Tiffani really nailed it when it came to creating a recipe that has that sweet and smoky BBQ flavor that I love, as well as, creating A HEALTHY BBQ flavored snack! I tried this with both ruffled sweet potato chips and plantain chips! I don’t think you can go wrong without either choice, but I prefer the sweet potato chips just because of the size and texture. If I want to indulge next time, I think I will go pick up a bag of Fritos! 🙂
Thank you, Amanda! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
