Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup water, or more as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Pinch of cumin (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and cumin (if using) in a food processor.
  2. Process until the mixture is mostly smooth.
  3. With the food processor running, gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice.
  5. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and serve with your favorite dippers.

Notes

  • For a smoother hummus, you can peel the chickpeas before processing.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon juice to your preference.
  • If you don’t have tahini, you can use unsalted sunflower seed butter as a substitute.
