Hatch chiles are in season! In celebration of my favorite season, I made this creamy vegan fire-roasted hatch chile spicy hummus. This is the ultimate appetizer for those who like it hot! And if you don’t like too much spice, you are in full control of the level of spice!

This healthy fire-roasted hatch chile vegan hummus recipe is perfect for entertaining, or for a spicy snack!

I first discovered hatch chiles when we were living in Austin. Hatch chiles were so popular that festivals were created to celebrate their spicy goodness. Huge fire roasters could be found at many restaurants like one of my favorites, Chuy’s.

Even Whole Foods has fire roasters in their parking lots during hatch chile season. And the hatch chile craze has spread to other cities. When we were in Boulder a couple of weeks ago, the Whole Foods in Boulder also had a big fire roaster in their parking lot!

You could find the most unusual foods created with hatch chiles. During our last trip to Austin this past August, Central Market had hatch chile apple pies, jams, cookies, muffins, chocolates, etc….If you could imagine it, you could probably find it for purchase :-). Green chili recipes are a lot of fun when you can use them in desserts too!

Some of my favorite roasted hatch chile recipes include Lamb & Hatch Chile Stew and Cheesy Hatch Chile Grits with a Fried Egg.

I was surprised to see fresh hatch green chiles at our local market, and I couldn’t resist buying a big bag of them.

Put them directly on the grill and fire-roasted them until their skins were blistered. Allow the chiles to cool, which helps to loosen their skin. This tutorial I wrote will walk you through how to fire-roast hatch chiles, and there are tons of delicious hatch chile recipes too!

SAFETY TIP: I use gloves to remove the skins, stems, and seeds. These peppers are not “hot” peppers, but I always take a little precaution just in case.

(It only takes rubbing your eye once after touching a pepper to learn I never want to do that again!)

I couldn’t live without my Cuisinart Immersion Blender. The attachments save me so much time. This little food processor makes the hummus in under a minute.

For the video, I used my Vitamix blender to make the hummus. I love my Cuisinart, but it isn’t good for video because of the wand on top!

How to make this hummus recipe:

Here are the hatch chiles all ground down.

Add the rest of the ingredients and turn on for a minute.

Can you use canned fire-roasted chiles?

You can definitely use canned fire-roasted chiles, especially if you can’t find hatch chiles locally. Canned hatch chiles are not quite as spicy, so it may be good if you prefer a more mild hummus.

Can you use different peppers in this recipe?

You can use any type of pepper you like. Shishito peppers or padrone peppers would also make a very tasty hummus! I do recommend blistering these peppers just for that special flavor. Shishito and padrone peppers are much milder than hatch chiles.
