Chickpea Shawarma Dip

This recipe is a huge crowd pleaser. I do have one hack for the chickpeas: once drained, I dry them a bit with paper towels, then omit the olive oil and just toss the damp chickpeas in the spice mixture. I bake them using the convection setting to crisp them up.

Highly recommend using fresh dill if you can.

I have made in 2x now, for friends and work. Huge hit. 1st item gone at office party. First time, I use store bought hummus. The 2nd time I made the hummus. Both were good, but homemade much better. Garlic is very good, but with the homemade, did not make as not needed. Will have to make my own Tahini next time as well.

This was fantastic! I brought it to a party yesterday and it disappeared-and my husband and I were the only plant based eaters there! Everyone loved it. Thank you for the recipe!

This is one of the best things I’ve ever made – easy, healthy, versatile, and so much deep flavor. It was a big hit at a party, but this is going to be something I make for myself regularly

This is an absolute loved family and party recipe. Everyone requests that I make this for gatherings. I have been making this for years. Thank you so much for all your wonderful and amazing recipes. Gonna start making it now for Christmas Eve. 🎄

Every Christmas Eve, our family have “Dip Wars.” We all bring a “dip” to compete.
It has become VERY competitive . I’ve had this dip earmarked since the summer! I’ve made it twice as trial but not for family, yet.
I know I’ve got a winner this year…thanks!

Very good, I make it for parties frequently, and everyone always loves it.

This was one of the first Minimalist Baker recipes I made and I still make it for potlucks and picnics regularly. When I make it to take some where, I keep all of the parts (chickpeas, sauce, hummus, and parsley salad) separate and assemble when I get there. Every time I make it, people ask for the recipe – it is delish.

I’ve made this several times and it is always an absolute winner.

10 out of 5!!!!!!! Made this for the first time last night. It was such a hit and went so fast. Everyone loved it. The combination of flavours was absolutely delicious. Thankyou for another great recipe.

I make this on repeat! It’s a favourite amongst company and i always double it for left overs! I’ve shared the recipe so many times and thank you so much for creating it!

Loved this recipe! Fantastic flavor bomb! Especially if you add the chili garlic sauce. Would be great with veggie dippers of all sorts too. I made this in advance of a gathering to try it out and it will definitely be on the menu! Thank you!

Thanks again for another 5 Star Recipe!! It was delicious.
We had it with naan and veggies. Also we added on the side another great sauce Which is yours, that goes with the Kimchi Fritters. Sriracha, nice and spicy, really tasty.
I so enjoy getting all your fabulous recipes that you send out.

😉❤️😋

This is 4th time I’m making this dip! Everyone loves it ( vegan and non-vegan alike). I doctor up store bought hummus ( to save time iso making homemade) with fresh garlic, lemon juice and more cumin! Added kalamata olives on top this time, it went nicely with the dip!

AMAZING and incredibly tasty recipe. I needed to make a side dish and a main meal for myself for a Super Bowl party that I went to last night. I stumbled upon this recipe that looked scrumptious and trusting the Minimalist Baker headed to the store.
It was easy to put together and I had most of the ingredients. I substituted white onions for red, dried parsley for fresh adjusting to taste, didn’t have the chili garlic sauce & used frozen cooked chickpeas that I had made previously. I kept everything separate since I didn’t know how many people would be eating it me being the only non-meat eater and had each person assemble their own dish. One person didn’t like onions so they were able to skip it. I used pita chips and the dish was a hit with everyone there. Next time I will double the garlic herb sauce since I am going to be making more tonight, only a little was left. It probably needed to be a thinner consistency and poured from a gravy boat instead of being spooned on top of the dish.
Thank you for this absolutely wonderful meal!

5 out of 5! Incredibly easy recipe to make and it looks amazing when plated. It was a huge hit with my girlfriends. I used plain pita but I’d recommend pita chips or veggies to better load up each bite with all the goodness.

I have made this at least 5 or 6 times in the last two months and it gets rave reviews by everyone, even non-vegans! Don’t skip the parsley salad, I think that is what makes it! It is also very Christmassy looking with the red & green! For the sake of simplicity, I no longer make the dressing in the recipe and just make a sauce mixing vegan plain yogurt and siracha to drizzle over the top. What’s great is you can make the pieces separately and then put it together quickly when you are ready. I also leave out the oil and bought a shawarma spice mix to make it easy to make the chickpeas. It is amazing!

So, so good. Everyone loves it and asks for the recipe. I’ve made this an embarrassing number of times already, and will keep doing so!

I also made this on NYE. It was so fresh and tasty, looked great and is really simple to make. Hubby loved it!
I think it’s going to appear on our table again very soon :)

This is delicious and beautiful! There are 4 of us and we like doing an array of appetizers as a meal on New Year’s. This is the only one that was gone, and gone quickly. My son and daughter both asked for the recipe as soon as they took the first bites. Each bite yielded vocal ‘yummms’. Thank you for this deliciously simple recipe.

Made this to bring to a New Years Eve party. It was a big hit! Made it exactly as written and made the microwave hummus too. Delicious. Especially good with the chili garlic sauce.

This dip is awesome. I keep going back to it especially for parties. I first time I made it was for a dinner party in Italy, with all Italians, and my husband said that they weren’t going to like it because they like their traditional foods. Well they loved it! I got asked multiple times for the recipe. The whole thing was gone. Actually someone arrived when there was just a little left, so someone ran up to them and said ‘You have to try this’ and they loved it too! Thank you so much!

Fantastic appetizer…. So good!!! And the microwave hummus is just perfect!!! Thank you!

I took this dip to a luncheon yesterday and everyone commented and loved it. I’ve made the dip a few times now and it always seems extra special, looks great and tastes fresh, healthy and delicious. Thanks.

Made this for our ladies poker night and it was a huge hit! I added more tomatoes because I had a lot of home grown cherry variety and it was yummy! I didn’t have the Chili Garlic Sauce, but will make sure to add that next time for a little kick! Everyone is asking for the recipe! Bravo!!

I took this to a party as an apo and the GUYS were the first ones to rate it 5 stars as the fragrance drove them nuts with delight. I prepped the dish before we drove to the party and held it on my lap as 5 of us piled into the car for shirt drive to party.

THANK YOU so much for the recipe.

Amazing and I gave them your info so they could check it out and.make it themselves they made me promise to share – which I did.!!!!

I’m quite addicted to this recipe and have been for a couple of years! I serve it on top of baked sweet potatoes (similar to your Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potato recipe) along with a Greek inspired salad with ingredients from my garden, and some vegan halloumi that’s available locally to me. I could eat this every single day. Thank you!

I made this last night for a dinner party, along with the Abundant Kale Salad, and it too was a HUGE success. There were no leftovers to be sure, and I’d doubled the recipe!!! It was not only a huge success for its flavor but it was absolutely stunning on the serving table. Your food is as beautiful as it is delicious. Thank you for always making my dinner parties the place to be!!

I made this dip and without a doubt it will be my “go to.” I thought I had found something better by using “convection” baking on the chickpeas, but it wasn’t necessary. The second time making the dip, I did cook my “topping” chickpeas a bit longer. Might be my oven, but they seemed to have more flavor. I cooked the peas 26 minutes.

Love at first bite! We’re big hummus lovers so this was just perfect! We loved the tabbouleh and sauce – perfect combination for a party or dinner. We served with pitas and it was almost gone by the end of the party – even caught my 4 yr old pushing a chair up to the table to eat it by himself. Thanks so much for the delicious recipe again!

I have made this dip at least 25 times and every time I make it people LOVE it. It is flavourful, colourful and healthy. Thank you!

Thanks for such an incredible recipe. I made it for a family dinner recently and everyone loved it. I cheated and used store bought hummus, so very easy. And l have also made the garlic dill sauce a few times to have with veg. It’s a winner.

Making this for my second time so I figured I would rate it! Wonderful recipe, so fresh and tasty. I did the microwave version of the hummus. RAVE REVIEWS!

Made this for a Christmas dinner and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it! I didn’t change a thing on the recipe.

This is so good! My chick peas did not get crunchy and I roasted them for 23 minutes. I will roast them longer next time.

This is simply delicious. So fresh and flavorful. Easy to make too. Definitely on the repertoire to serve to company.

Loved it
Need to try with tabouleh
Loved the dimension of flavor, especially the little sweetness

This was the best hummus I’ve ever had. So fresh and flavorful! My husband said it was sooo good. This weekend I am making the hummus and the sauce for just my husband and I for a smaller app. The sauce is divine. The entire dish though would be a pretty and tasty appetizer to bring to a host or for a party or holiday. I made it as directed except I added a bit more lemon and an extra clove of garlic because I loove both. However, there was no need to add any extra garlic so I will make it as directed, except maybe the extra bit of lemon but just because I am a lemonhead I guess. Sooo good and easy to make. Thanks so much for the recipe.
