Ready In: 5 minutes Prep:5 minutes Servings: 3-4
Ingredients:
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons aquafaba (reserved liquid from the chickpeas)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons tahini
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Prepare the Chickpeas: Drain the chickpeas, reserving the aquafaba (the liquid from the can). Rinse the chickpeas under cold water.
Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, aquafaba, minced garlic, lemon juice, tahini, paprika, and salt.
Process Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add a bit more aquafaba, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more lemon juice for tanginess, more garlic for a stronger flavor, or additional salt to taste.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, and sprinkle a little paprika on top for garnish. Enjoy it with fresh veggies, pita bread, or as a spread on your favorite sandwich.
Tips for the Perfect Hummus:
For Extra Creaminess: Peel the chickpeas before blending them. This step is optional but can make your hummus even smoother.
Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to add other spices or herbs like cumin, coriander, or fresh parsley for a unique twist.
Storage: Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
