Ingredients

• 1 15-ounce can canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 0.25 cup tahini
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic clove
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons water (or chickpea liquid)
• 0.25 teaspoon ground paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Reserve a few whole chickpeas for garnish, if desired.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and cumin. Process for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 3

If the hummus is too thick, gradually add water (or the reserved chickpea liquid) one tablespoon at a time, processing between additions, until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 4

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, lemon juice, or cumin based on your preference.

Step 5

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle with ground paprika. Add the reserved chickpeas and fresh parsley as garnish, if desired.

Step 6

Serve immediately with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread in wraps and sandwiches. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
