Ingredients

• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 0.25 cups tahini
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Spread the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly blistered.

Step 3

Allow the roasted tomatoes to cool for a few minutes.

Step 4

In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatoes, cooked chickpeas, tahini, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and water.

Step 5

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If needed, scrape down the sides of the blender and blend again to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For example, add an extra pinch of salt or another teaspoon of lemon juice for more brightness.

Step 7

Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle a little extra olive oil on top and garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chopped fresh parsley.

Step 8

Serve with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or pita bread. Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
