Flexible Tahini Recipe (3 Ways)

Are you as addicted to tahini as I am? If you open my fridge right now, you’ll find at least one jar – sometimes two. It’s one of those kitchen staples I never run out of. I use it on salads, as a dip (hello celery sticks!), and as the creamy base for my go-to hummus recipe (check it out in my cookbook FOOD YOU WANT For The Life You Crave).

Today, I’m sharing a tahini recipe that’s anything but boring. We’ll start with a simple garlic-lemon tahini base that’s creamy, zesty, and packed with flavor. Then comes the fun part – adding bold twists to keep things flexible and fresh.

Try these three tahini flavor variations:

• Green Basil Tahini – Bright and herbaceous, perfect for drizzling over grilled veggies or grain bowls.

• Roasted Red Pepper Sriracha Tahini – Sweet, smoky, and spicy – amazing on roasted cauliflower or falafel.

• Curry Tahini – Warm and earthy, delicious on lentils, roasted sweet potatoes, or even as a dip for naan.

These variations come together fast and are loaded with healthy fats and flavor. One batch, and you’ll be hooked! Bonus: tahini is naturally low in carbs and super satisfying, making it a perfect fit for your healthy eating goals.

Pro tip: Make a double batch and store it in a mason jar in the fridge for the week. It thickens as it sits, so just whisk in a little water or lemon juice to loosen it back up.

So go ahead – try these tahini twists and add flexible flavor to everything from bowls to snacks to salads.
