  • 215 oz cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
  • ¼ cupfresh lemon juice (more if you prefer)
  • ½ cuptahini
  • 2 clovesgarlic
  • ¼ cupolive oil (plus more for serving)
  • ⅓ cupaquafaba (liquid from the beans) (or cold water)
  • ½ teaspooncoarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoonground cumin
  • ⅛ teaspooncayenne pepper (optional)
  • paprika or sumac
  • olive oil
  • fresh chopped parsley

Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse and drain chickpeas. Reserve at least ⅓ cup of bean liquid (aquafaba) if you're using it (and not water) to thin your hummus.

  2. 2

    Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and insert the tamper in the top. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds (up to a minute for a creamier texture). Use the tamper to push the hummus into the blades as you mix. Add more liquid if you like a thinner consistency. Taste and add more salt if desired.

  3. 3

    Place in a serving bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired, and top with paprika or sumac and parsley. Eat and enjoy!
