Roasted Eggplant Hummus

Roasted Eggplant Hummus is a tasty way to enjoy hummus with some added veggies. In fact, each serving of this appetizer has a whole serving of vegetables

I have this obsession with hummus. I've made it too many times to count, and I've posted about it borderline too many times to be normal.

There are just so many flavor options! Artichoke, Pumpkin, Greek, Spinach & Avocado, and so. much. more.

It wouldn't be weird if I had an I ♥ hummus bumpersticker.

Well I guess it would be kinda weird, but it wouldn't be a lie.

Since eggplant is in season for the next few months, I thought it would be a good idea to make an eggplant hummus.

Naturally, I thought right.

Roasting the eggplant really brings out its flavor and makes this hummus good-oooo-oood.

I love how this hummus is so satisfying but also packs in the veggies.

I discuss my obsession with veggies almost daily, so it shouldn't surprise you that hummus with lots of veggies that's served with veggies makes me really happy. Even if you're not a veggie-loving freak like me, you will like this roasted eggplant hummus.
