Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas (low sodium)
- 3 ounces roasted red peppers
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas well under cold water to reduce sodium content.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and ground cumin.
Step 3
Process the mixture until smooth. If the hummus is too thick or chunky, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 4
Taste the hummus and adjust the flavor if necessary, adding more lemon juice for acidity or tahini for nuttiness.
Step 5
Once smooth and creamy, transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.
Step 6
Sprinkle paprika over the top for a bit of color and flavor.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 8
Serve with fresh veggies, pita bread, or spread on sandwiches. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
