For some of the rest of the country, September and fall foods might mean pumpkins, a nip in the air, or a sweater thrown over the shoulders while sipping a hot drink.
Here in Southern California, we’re often still in the September heat storm of summer, as we have been for the past week, and warming, cozy fall spices are far, far from our minds.
We’re still obsessing over Hatch chiles, the August-September seasonal chile that comes to us straight from New Mexico. We’ve appropriated these chiles for our own, roasting them, sweating and peeling them and using them in all kind of things. Did you check out my 50 recipes you need right now for Hatch? I’ll pause while you do that. These chiles are worth it.
Are you back? Then let’s get to work celebrating fall OUR way, with Hatch Chile Hummus. I’ve stuffed this healthy dip full of mild Hatch – enough to give you their wonderful flavor, but not a lot of heat. If you’re a heat-seeker, feel free to use hot Hatch instead.
It’s Hatch Hummus time!
Healthy hummus dip that highlights the special flavor of Hatch chiles, without a lot of heat. Use as a dip or sandwich spread.
Ingredients
- 1 (16- to 19-ounce) can low-salt garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
- 5 mild Hatch chiles, roasted, seeded, peeled
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Gourmet Garden Chunky Garlic Paste (or use 2-3 cloves garlic, pressed)
- Heaping ¼ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- Dippers: cut vegetables, tortilla chips, pita wedges
Directions
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor.
- Whirl for a minute or so until well combined and pasty.
- Serve in a bowl with dippers (cut vegetables, tortilla chips, pita wedges) alongside.
- Serves 6-8 as a dip.
Notes

Want it hotter? If you’d like it hotter, feel free to substitute hot Hatch chiles, and start with 1 or 2. Once you taste the heat level, you can stop there, or add more to suit yourself.

This hummus sounds like a party! I haven’t used hatch chiles, but I want too!
Marion,
Oh yes, you DO!
I’m so making this tomorrow!!!!! With the hatch chiles I won from you, of course. 🙂 This sounds so healthy and delicious, I can’t wait!!
Julie,
Perfect!
Oh yesssssssss!! What a fabulous idea. Now I know what I am going to do with some of the roasted Hatch chiles I have!!
Bobbi,
Having the Hatch already roasted and ready makes them easy to just throw into this and that, eh?
Sign me up! Hummus with a little heat- YES PLEASE!!!
MealDiva,
And luckily, Hatch comes in 4 different heat levels, so you can make it mild, like I did, or ramp it up.
I’m hearing a lot about hatch chilies this year. They have not been available in my area and I’ve been dying to give them a try! You hummus looks delicious!
Shelby,
Thanks! I wish you could get some Hatch!
Wow, this looks fantastic. I hear ya, I’m “fakin” fall since up in NorCal our fall is like summer until it goes back to moderate temperatures. I didn’t even want to turn on my oven yesterday but cookies had to be baked!
Shannon,
I hear you. I wonder sometimes when it is 90 degrees and I have the oven on, “WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME?”
Perfect for a fall party!
Cindy,
Exactly right! We had it for dinner with cucumber sticks tonight.
This is a great combo – I bought 25 pounds this year so will be trying this out!
Christy,
You are SET then !
Hatch chiles. Hatch chiles. Hatch chiles. I swear everyone is talking about them yet I still need to try them. I know, I need to fix that! I love hummus, so this would be a great first recipe for me.
Carla,
You’re right…you DO need to try them!
Such a delicious twist on hummus! A terrific way to celebrate autumn!
Thanks Liz!
I have actually never tasted anything with hatch chile in it before. This hummus would be the perfect way to introduce it to my palate!
Shaina,
I predict you will love it!
I am addicted to hummus, but I have yet to make my own. This recipe with a spicy, autumnal kick might give me the kick I need to try it! Thank you!
Katy,
Making your own hummus could not be any easier! Get out your food processor and whirl away.
One of the grocery stores I occasionally frequent had one of those roasting Saturdays in the parking lot for hatch chiles. I put it in my calendar, and promptly forgot all about it. I’m so bummed. But at least now I know someone here brings these babies in. I’m thinking of making this with poblano chiles. How spicy are hatch chiles?
Wimpy,
Hatch come in 4 varieties of heat — mild, medium, hot and extra hot. Pick your poison!
I LOVE Hummus! This looks fantastic. I’ve never used hatch chiles before 🙂
FoodieArmy / Conni,
You need to get on this then, because they will be gone by the end of Sept.! Until next year, that is.
What a great dip! I’m in Florida, so I completely understand not having those Fall temps, yet.
Nichole,
It was 95 here last week. Whew.
I love all kinds of hummus, love, love, love. This looks like a must make recipe! I’m on it 🙂 Happy Fall!
Amber,
Yep, get on it now, because you have a coupla weeks before the Hatch are gone until next year.
Desserts,
You are right. You have a coupla weeks, MAX. And then wait until next year!
Desserts,
Yep, 4 heat levels!
