Ingredients

• 1.5 cups chickpeas (cooked, no added salt)
• 1 cup roasted tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika (for garnish, optional)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve and deseed 2 medium tomatoes, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush with 1 teaspoon of olive oil (optional) and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until soft and slightly caramelized. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, cooled roasted tomatoes, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, black pepper (if using), and olive oil.

Step 3

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.

Step 4

While blending, add 1-2 tablespoons of water gradually to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice or black pepper if desired.

Step 6

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Optionally, sprinkle with paprika and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil for garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately with fresh veggies, whole-grain crackers, or use as a spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
