• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Pulse the mixture several times to start breaking it down, then process until smooth. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed.

Step 3

Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and process again until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. Add more water if needed, one teaspoon at a time.

Step 4

Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin as desired.

Step 5

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top and sprinkle with paprika and parsley for garnish.

Step 6

Serve the hummus at room temperature with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or as a spread in wraps or sandwiches. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
