Description
Creamy, smooth and kid-approved! This homemade roasted garlic hummus is the perfect dip for vegetables or crackers, or a spread on a sandwich!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 oz) can of garbanzo beans (chick peas), rinsed
- 4–5 cloves roasted garlic
- juice of 1/2 lemon (approx. 2 tbsp)
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2–3 tsp water, if necessary
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the garbanzo beans, and place into a food processor (or blender) along with the garlic cloves and the fresh lemon juice. Pulse until the beans are mostly mashed.
- Add the tahini, olive oil, paprika, cumin and salt and run the food processor on high until the hummus is a satisfactory, creamy texture. If the hummus is not smooth enough, add a bit of water, one teaspoon at a time, until the hummus is smooth. Transfer the hummus to a serving dish.
Hummus will keep in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Add a pinch of paprika on top of hummus before serving
- Add 1/4 plain, greek yogurt along with the tahini and olive oil for an even creamier texture
- For a bit of a kick, add 2 tsp of chili powder along with the paprika and cumin.
