Lean Hummus & Veggie Toast

Two towering sourdough toasts smeared with high-protein yogurt hummus and piled with oil-free charred veggies — 18g protein at only 285 calories

Scroll to explore

Two slices of light whole-grain sourdough bread toasted golden and smeared edge-to-edge with a thick, creamy chickpea-and-Greek-yogurt hummus, then piled high with beautifully charred strips of eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms — all dry-roasted without a drop of oil. The yogurt hummus hack doubles the protein and eliminates the heavy tahini/oil payload of traditional hummus. 285 calories, 18g of protein, and only 4g of fat.

👨‍🍳Method

Whip the Lean Hummus

3 min

In a small blender, food processor, or by mashing vigorously with a fork, combine your chickpeas, non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until it forms a perfectly smooth, thick paste. Add a tiny drop of water if needed to reach that spreadable hummus consistency.

Dry-Roast the Veggies

7 min

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and give it just a quick, 1-second spray of zero-calorie cooking oil. Add all your sliced vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, tossing frequently, until they are beautifully softened and charred on the edges without being greasy.

💡Don't overcrowd the pan — the veggies need direct contact with the hot surface to char instead of steam.

Toast the Bread

2 min

Toast your two slices of light whole-grain or sourdough bread until golden and crisp.

Assemble the Masterpieces

1 min

Smear your high-protein hummus equally across both slices of toast right to the edges.
