Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas rinsed, drained
- 2 tbsp tahini paste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp water
- 1-2 large garlic cloves peeled
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Juice of 1/2 lemon or to taste
Optional toppings
- Radishes sliced
- cucumbers cut into bite size
- roasted bell peppers
- curly parsley
- red onions sliced
- toasted pine nuts
Instructions
- First, start by peeling the chickpeas by pinching them between your finger and thumb. This step is optional but I highly recommend it to get the smoothest hummus.
- Place the peeled chickpeas in the food processor, add in the tahini, olive oil, water, garlic cloves, paprika, salt, and the juice of half a lemon. Process until smooth. If the hummus is too thick for your liking add 1 tsp water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Spread the hummus on a plate and top it with the optional toppings. Drizzle some good tasting olive oil and serve with flat bread or pita chips.
