You can easily make your own hummus right at home only using a few ingredients. This comes together quickly and makes for the perfect snack. I love to eat hummus with veggies or vegetable chips. Hummus is also full of protein!
This recipe uses chickpeas, so I’d recommend keeping the liquid from it to make another recipe. This liquid is called aquafaba and can be whipped up like egg whites. Check out this recipe here using aquafaba to make chocolate mousse!
Ingredients
- A can of rinsed and drained chickpeas (save the liquid)
- A chopped clove of garlic
- The juice of half a lemon
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
- Paprika (optional)
Directions
- Add the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, and tahini to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add salt to taste and as much water as needed if the mixture is too thick.
- Place the hummus in a bowl to serve or keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for about 5-7 days. Sprinkle paprika on top of the hummus, if using.
