Ingredients
- 1 cup Shelled pistachios
- 1 cup Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pistachios in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Roast the pistachios in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly golden. Let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 3
In a food processor, combine the roasted pistachios, chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, water, garlic clove, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure everything is well incorporated. The spread should be creamy and fully blended.
Step 5
If the mixture is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Step 6
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and stir in the fresh chopped parsley.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, more salt or lemon juice can be added for flavor as desired.
