Ingredients
- Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Smoked paprika, for serving, optional
- Vegetable crudite and pita chips, for serving
Instructions
- Put the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, cumin and garlic into a food processor and pulse until smooth. With the motor running, slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream. Add the salt and puree until very smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add some of the reserved chickpea liquid, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- To serve, transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle some olive oil over the top. Garnish with a sprinkling of smoked paprika if using, and serve with vegetables and pita chips for dipping.
- Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Excellent hummus! My hubby likes it even better than our local restaurant’s version. Very easy to make. I blend it for 4-5 minutes and it comes out super creamy.
Very good hummus! Will definitely make again and again!!!! So easy and so good!
Best hummus ever! Thanks, Katie!
