Easy Hummus Recipe

A super simple, 6-ingredient recipe for hummus with canned chickpeas that’s smooth, ultra-creamy, and tastes much better than store-bought (no need to peel chickpeas!) Even better is that it's ready in just 5 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup of tahini
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons of water
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • Garnish: 1 tsp of Olive oil and ½ tsp of cumin

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a food processor or blender, blend all the ingredients on high until completely smooth.
  2. To garnish drizzle the olive and sprinkle cumin on top.

Notes

  • Use high-quality tahini: Not all brands were created equally. To avoid overly bitter tahini, you may need to experiment. We love Soom tahini.
  • Use ice-cold water: We’re not sure about its exact science, but it helps make super light and fluffy hummus.
  • Enjoy it at room temperature: This yields the best flavor and texture. When enjoying it from the fridge, it’s best to let it sit for 30 minutes.
  • Don’t rush it: Making super-smooth hummus can take a good few minutes. Give the machine breaks to scrape down the sides.
