Hummus pizza. Give your favorite pizza a healthy spin with this delicious idea. Topped with hummus, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers and a light sprinkle of mozzarella, it’s a fuss-free recipe for a relaxed weeknight meal.

When it comes to customizing pizza, there are no rules. In my opinion, it entirely depends on your taste. I love the idea of bringing together unique toppings to create an absolute masterpiece.

Like this hummus pizza. The eclectic mix of smooth hummus, soft mushrooms and crunchy bell peppers is simply amazing. And if you are a fan of mozzarella, just add a light sprinkle for that cheesy texture. Play around with the toppings to create your unique version of pizza. Easy and simple!

How To Make Healthy Hummus Pizza

Start with the pizza base. Store bought or homemade- it’s your choice. I really love the crisp base of my favorite homemade pizza. It’s so good, and my go-to recipe for delicious homemade pizza base. You can get the details here. However, if you are time-poor, the best option is definitely the store bought pizza base.

Next up, the hummus. I’m obsessed with this classic Middle Eastern dip loaded with the goodness of chickpeas. Combined with the crispy pizza base and the toppings, I must say, it tastes incredible. Maybe even better than your classic pizza sauce. Again, go with store bought or homemade version. To make homemade hummus, all you need to do is grind together cooked chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and a little oil. It’s absolutely amazing!

The toppings are totally customizable. I opted for bell peppers, mushrooms and olives. I also like to add a sprinkle of mozzarella on top. Delicious!

We’re going to bake the pizza base without any toppings, and then add the toppings and bake again. And you’re going to love this beautiful homemade hummus pizza that also happens to be super healthy and incredibly tasty.
