Easy Hummus
This easy hummus recipe makes the best hummus in 5 minutes for smooth and creamy homemade hummus that tastes better than store-bought!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz. can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons cold water add more if needed
Instructions
- Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice to a food processor and blend in 15-second intervals, scraping the sides if needed in between intervals for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the ingredients are fully combined and the hummus is smooth and creamy.
- To create a smoother hummus, add 2 tablespoons of cold water to the hummus and blend for 1 more minute or until you reach your desired consistency. You can add a little more water if necessary. Do a taste test and add additional salt if needed. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Hummus can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- You can use store-bought tahini or this easy Sunflower Tahini that is super yummy!
