Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas (, rinsed & drained but reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid to thin out the hummus later)
  • 2 large garlic cloves (if you have time - roasted garlic is awesome in here)
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • sea salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)
  • chili flakes for garnish

Instruction

  • Place chickpeas in a blender or food processor with garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin and reserved liquid from the canned chickpeas. Blend or puree until very smooth, adding more liquid or lemon juice as needed to thin out to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper and add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to help achieve a super creamy texture, if desired.
  • Serve on pitas, crackers, veggies, or sandwiches. Adjust seasonings as you like and sprinkle with red chili flakes if desired.
