Equipment

  • Blender or food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 + ½ cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained, rinsed, chickpeas from 1 can (15 oz)
  • 1 clove fresh garlic medium-sized, chopped or minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 4-6 tablespoons aquafaba (chickpea liquid) or fresh water
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼-½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Toss your chickpeas, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cummin, salt, and aquafaba (or water) into your blender or food processor. Whiz it up until smooth and creamy, adding more aquafaba/water as needed for desired consistency.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and additional spices. Spread on pita bread, dip with veggies, or enjoy your homemade hummus.

Notes

  • Storage tips. Store your leftover hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It'll thicken a bit in the fridge, so just give it a stir before serving.
  • For freezing. Portion in freezer-friendly airtight containers, leave space, label, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Texture might change slightly, but still delicious!
  • Canned or cooked? Canned saves time, cooked brings richer flavor. You choose!
  • Extra smooth. Blend longer for a smoother texture, pausing to scrape the sides for even consistency. Skip peeling skins for extra creamy hummus. Rub them under water, they'll slip right off!
  • Spice it up. Don't be shy! Explore smoked paprika, coriander, even a pinch of cayenne for a fiery kick.
  • No blender? Mash your chickpeas with a fork or potato masher for a rustic twist.
  • Taste as you go. Keep tasting and adjusting flavors while blending to get it just right.
  • See the post above for serving suggestions and substitution, and variation ideas.
