Ingredients

• 1 15-ounce can canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 medium garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika (for garnish, optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess liquid and salt.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, ground cumin, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

If the hummus is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of water at a time and blend until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or cumin if necessary to suit your preference.

Step 5

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a small swirl indentation at the top.

Step 6

Drizzle with a splash of olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
