Substitutions
1| Chickpeas: If you’re not a fan of chickpeas, you can use white beans like cannellini or navy beans for a similar texture and flavor.
2| Tahini: Try almond butter or sunflower seed butter if you want a nut-free or different twist on the hummus.
3| Onions: Red onions or shallots can add a slightly different flavor profile if you’re looking to switch things up.
4| Garlic: For a milder taste, use roasted garlic instead of raw. It adds a sweet and creamy element to the hummus.
5| Spices: Feel free to experiment with other spices like smoked paprika or even curry powder for a unique flavor twist.

Some useful tips for the recipe
Here are some useful tips to make your Roasted Onion Hummus with Spicy Chickpeas even better:
1| Roasting Time: Keep an eye on the onions and chickpeas while they roast. Ovens can vary, so check for that perfect golden brown without burning them.
2| Blend for Creaminess: When making the hummus, blend for a bit longer to achieve an ultra-smooth texture. If it’s still chunky, just add a splash of water or olive oil.
3| Chill the Hummus: For even better flavor, let the hummus chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
4| Experiment with Toppings: Don’t hesitate to get creative with toppings! Try adding a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of flavored olive oil for an extra touch.
5| Serve with Variety: Pair the hummus with a mix of dippers—think pita chips, veggie sticks, or even crackers—to keep things interesting.
6| Make Ahead: This hummus can be made a day in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge and give it a good stir before serving.
7| Adjust the Flavor: Taste your hummus as you blend and adjust the seasoning as needed. A little extra lemon juice or salt can really elevate the flavor!
8| Use the Chickpea Liquid: If you prefer a smoother consistency, reserve some of the chickpea liquid (aquafaba) and use it instead of water when blending.
These tips will help you nail this recipe and impress everyone at your next gathering! Enjoy!

Some storage suggestions
Here are some handy storage options for your Roasted Onion Hummus with Spicy Chickpeas:
Hummus Storage:
1| Refrigerator: Store the hummus in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days. Be sure to give it a good stir before serving, as it may thicken slightly in the fridge.
2| Freezer: You can freeze the hummus for up to 3 months. Just place it in a freezer-safe container and let it thaw in the fridge overnight when you’re ready to use it. Stir well after thawing to restore the creamy texture.
Spicy Chickpeas Storage:
1| Room Temperature: If you want to keep the chickpeas crispy, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They make a great snack on their own too!
2| Refrigerator: You can store the roasted chickpeas in the fridge for up to 4 days, but keep in mind they may lose some of their crunch. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
3| Freezer: Freeze roasted chickpeas in a zip-top bag for up to 1 month. Reheat them in the oven to bring back the crispiness.
These options should help you enjoy your hummus and spicy chickpeas for days to come!
