- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess sodium.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic cloves.
Step 3
Blend the mixture for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed, until the ingredients start to combine.

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to suit your taste preference.
Step 6
Once smooth, transfer the hummus to a serving dish.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and optionally, a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 8
