Toasted Sesame Miso Hummus

By: The Ultimate Healthy Instant Pot Cookbook by Coco Morante

My friend Shinae gave me the idea for this Asian-inspired spin on hummus. It’s got a savory-salty kick that you can’t stop going back for, and omitting the traditional tahini makes it a lot lower in fat and calories than regular hummus. Scoop it up with fresh vegetables and rice crackers, or tuck it into nori rolls.
