Ingredients

• 15 oz can canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
• 0.25 cup tahini
• 3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.25 cup low sodium vegetable broth
• 0.25 tsp paprika, for garnish
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly to remove as much sodium as possible.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and ground cumin.

Step 3

Process the mixture on high speed until it starts to become smooth.

Step 4

With the processor running, gradually add the low sodium vegetable broth to the mixture. This will help achieve a creamy and smooth consistency.

Step 5

Continue to blend until the hummus is smooth and creamy. You may scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed during this process.

Step 6

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Feel free to add more lemon juice for extra tang or a splash more olive oil for richness.

Step 7

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, and use a spoon to create a small well in the center.

Step 8

Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top of the hummus, then sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 9

Serve the hummus with your choice of fresh vegetable crudités, whole grain pita bread, or use as a spread in sandwiches and wraps.
