This smooth and creamy hummus is made with chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. It’s perfect as a dip, spread, or healthy snack. Whip it up in minutes for a delicious, homemade alternative to store-bought versions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)

  • 1/4 cup tahini

  • 1 small garlic clove, minced

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water

  • Paprika or sumac, for garnish (optional)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice. Process for 1 minute until creamy and whipped.

  2. Add garlic, olive oil, cumin, and salt. Blend until well mixed.

  3. Add chickpeas and blend for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.

  4. With the processor running, slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold water until hummus is smooth and creamy.

  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  6. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika or parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra smooth hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending.

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  • You can use canned or cooked-from-dry chickpeas.

  • Great as a dip for veggies, pita, or as a spread in wraps and sandwiches.
