Ingredients

  • 30 oz canned chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 6 oz jar roasted red bell peppers drained, and extra if desired for garnishing
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil plus a little more for drizzling on top
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • cup fresh lemon juice
  • Optional garnishes: drizzle of EVOO, extra chopped roasted red peppers, and fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Process all ingredients in a food processor until smooth, scraping down sides a couple of times during processing.
  • Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh parsley, and extra chopped roasted peppers, if desired.
  • Serve with your favorite veggies or dippers.

Notes

  • Start with high-quality ingredients. Using the freshest, highest-quality ingredients you can get your hands on makes a world of difference in the final flavor of your homemade hummus. 
  • The chickpeas must be tender. Most canned chickpeas will fall apart easily when pieced with a fork, but if yours aren’t fully tender, you may want to pop them in the microwave with a splash of water until softened. 
  • Reserve the liquid from the canned chickpeas (aka aquafaba). You can use it at the end if you aren’t satisfied with the consistency. Simply blend a splash or two (adding more as needed) of the reserved canning liquid until the hummus is smooth and creamy.
