Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons Tahini
- 3 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 15-oz can chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained, aquafaba (liquid from can) reserved
- 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus additional for garnish
- 3 cloves garlic coarsely chopped
- ¼ heaping teaspoon salt plus additional to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- Paprika for garnish optional
- Parsley for Garnish optional
- Toasted pita chips for serving
Instructions
- Combine tahini and lemon juice in a blender and blend for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and whipped.
- Add drained chickpeas, olive oil, garlic, salt, and cumin and blend until smooth and creamy. If mixture is too thick, add reserved aquafaba or water a Tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached (if you won’t be serving the hummus until the next day, it’s a good idea to add at least a splash of the reserved aquafaba as it tends to thicken in the fridge).
- Taste-test and add additional salt if needed.
- Cover and store in refrigerator until ready to serve or spread into serving dish and serve, garnished with additional olive oil, parsley, and paprika, if desired.

Notes
