Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
• 1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, roasted
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2-3 tablespoons water (as needed for consistency)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 10 minutes or until they are soft and fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly before use.

Step 3

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, roasted garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and salt.

Step 4

Process the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, pausing as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Step 5

If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil if desired.

Step 7

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, and chopped fresh parsley, if using.

Step 8

Serve the hummus with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping, or use as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.
