Zesty Homemade Hummus
This Zesty Homemade Hummus is a simple recipe that packs a kick. Making hummus at home only requires a few ingredients and 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 15 oz can chickpeas drained, rinsed and skins removed
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/4 cup olive oil plus more for topping
- 1 tsp smoked paprika plus more for topping
- salt & pepper to taste
- water as needed
- fresh parsley for topping
Instructions
- Remove the skins from the chickpeas.*
- Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt & pepper to a food processor. Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- If the hummus is too thick, add water or additional olive oil and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer to a bowl and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Remove from the fridge and top with additional olive oil, chick peas, smoked paprika and/or fresh parsley.
- Serve with warm pita and/or veggies.
Notes
*You don't have to do this step, but I highly, HIGHLY, recommend it for a creamier hummus.
**This will keep in the fridge for 5 days.
