- Serve: Scoop the hummus into a bowl, garnish with smoked paprika. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes
- You can make your own pita chips to go with your red lentil hummus! Simply cut the pita into wedges, brush them with a bit of olive oil, and toast them on a sheet pan in the oven at 400F until they started to brown, about 5-10 minutes.
- You don't need to use red lentils for this recipe! Brown or green will both work as substitutes.
- Store your hummus in the fridge for 4-7 days. You can keep it in the same bowl you've served it in covered with plastic wrap, or transfer it to an airtight container.
- Surprisingly, this is a dip that can be frozen without ruining the consistency! Transfer your red lentil hummus to an airtight container, drizzle a thin layer of oil over the top, and store up to 4 months. When you're ready to eat, let it thaw fully either at room temperature for a couple hours or overnight in the fridge. Give it a stir to mix the layer of oil in, and enjoy!
