Since taking the Pulse Pledge earlier this year I’ve been having a blast in the kitchen coming up with new recipes using my favourite beans, chickpeas and lentils. The kids and I eat hummus in some form almost every day for lunch. They just devour it, scooping it up with veggies and licking it off their fingers (they’re toddlers, so it’s understandable!). The other day I even caught my daughter licking the hummus clean off her plate. I wasn’t sure if I should be glad for her love of a healthy food or horrified by her lack of table manners…isn’t that just parenting in a nutshell?!
White Bean Hummus without Tahini
I love making my own hummus at home because the flavour possibilities are endless! Hummus is typically made with chickpeas and tahini, but I’m loving white beans lately so I thought I’d change things up a bit with an Italian twist. This Garlic Parmesan White Bean Hummus has no tahini, is so easy to throw together in the food processor, and the end result is outstanding!
Garlic Parmesan White Bean Hummus is sharp-tasting with a beautiful smooth texture, and it’s oh so garlicky! It’s perfect with veggies, pita bread, or your favourite crackers, and it’s so delicious I actually couldn’t stop eating it between shots while I photographed it! It’s a great way to eat those delicious and healthy pulses, and I know you’re going to love it as much as we do!
Equipment Needed to Make White Bean Hummus Recipe
You will need a food processor to make this hummus dip. I have a 7-cup food processor that works perfectly for this recipe.
Garlic Parmesan White Bean Hummus
Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish (use the real stuff!)
- 1 can white beans rinsed and drained
- zest of half a lemon
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil plus 2 teaspoons of olive oil for garnish
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Add the garlic, Parmesan cheese, white beans, lemon zest and salt to your food processor.
- Process on high speed until blended, stopping to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl if necessary.
- Once the mixture is well blended, add the olive oil, the water and the lemon juice in a slow stream as the mixture continues to blend on high speed.
- Continue to blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil (about 2 teaspoons) and some freshly grated Parmesan, and your favourite veggies and crackers for dipping!

What size can of beans?
Vicky says
I have the same question. Can size is not specified. I used Trader Joe’s Cannellini beans, 15 oz can. I felt the garlic (which I do like) was overpowering for that size can.
Chrissie says
The can size is 15 oz. 🙂

Wow, this was SO delicious! Definitely needed a few hours in the fridge to thicken and for the flavours to meld but once they did – a 10! Can’t stop eating it. Thanks for such a delicious, healthy, and ridiculously easy recipe.

I have a LOT of DRY BEANS like the ones used in this and some of the other Hummus recipes. How can I use the DRY ones?
Chrissie says
Soak and cook the beans first, and cool. Then use them in this recipe.
Beverly says
This was AMAZING!!!! I often spend almost $5 on hummus in the grocery store and made this for the cost of a dollar can of Great Northern beans! (I always have lemons, garlic and EVOO, so I didn’t count that). I used three cloves of garlic because my hubby has a sensitive stomach and it was perfect! I have a book that I hand write favorite and family recipes in. I wrote this in it right away! I can’t wait to try it on my grown “foodie” children! The next time I make it I’ll double the recipe tho!
The Busy Baker says
Thanks Beverly, glad the recipe made it into your book!🙂
