Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the 15 oz can of chickpeas under cold water.

In a small pan over medium heat, toast the 0.25 cup of pine nuts until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 3 to 5 minutes. Let them cool slightly.

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Add 2 tbsp water to the food processor and continue blending until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.
Step 6
Add in half of the toasted pine nuts and pulse the food processor a few times to incorporate them but not fully blend.
Step 7
Transfer the hummus to a serving dish.
Step 8
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, the remaining toasted pine nuts, and sprinkle 0.25 tsp paprika over the top.
Step 9
Serve the hummus with pita bread, assorted vegetables, or as desired.
