Spooky Black Bean Hummus is a quick, protein-packed dip that’s perfect for Halloween festivities!

This recipe was created in partnership with Sprouts Farmers Market. Thank you for supporting brands that make The Nutrition Adventure possible!

Can you really even have a party without having a dip? Not in my opinion! This Spooky Black Bean Hummus is the perfect dip to take to a Halloween party or to serve the kids before they head out to trick-or-treat.

Packed with protein and fiber, this recipe also has lots of great flavor from the fresh lime juice, garlic tahini, and ground cumin. The roasted red pepper “snakes” are a tasty addition to the dip too!

I added these wheat square crackers from Sprouts as “tombstones” on top of the hummus and served them on the side for dipping. These crackers are so good! Usually, I don’t go for crackers with my hummus but I preferred to dip these over the ~~cucumbers~~ monster fingers and ~~carrots~~ monster toes. 🙂

Traditional hummus is made with garbanzo beans but black beans work just as well. It makes a great spread for sandwiches and wraps too! Have you made hummus at home with black beans?
