Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, water, ground cumin, and salt into the food processor.

Step 3

Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure everything is evenly blended.

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley for garnish.
