Homemade Hummus with Garlic Scapes

This Homemade Hummus with Garlic Scapes recipe is a healthy snack or appetizer the whole family will love!  

I look forward to garlic scape season every year. 

In case you’re not familiar with garlic scapes, they’re the curly green stalks that grow on garlic plants. They’re cut from the plant in early summer to allow the garlic bulb to develop fully…if left on, they divert the plant’s strength, and the bulb will be smaller. 

You can chop them up and use them in salads, or sauté them with any dish in which you would normally use garlic. 

But my favorite way to use them is in homemade hummus and pesto!

Today I’m sharing my recipe for Garlic Scape Hummus. 

We are big hummus fans here. My husband is half Lebanese so it’s a staple in our house. During the school year, my daughter takes hummus with cut up vegetables every single day (and has for years)…I kid you not. 

I’ve made several varieties of hummus…Cannellini Bean and Mint Hummus, Cannellini Bean and Parsley Hummus, Curried Green Onion Hummus…but this might be my favorite one yet.  You be the judge.  Try them all and tell me how you like them!
