Simple Homemade Hummus Recipe (With Easy Ingredients)
Skip the store-bought tubs! This simple homemade hummus recipe comes together in just minutes using a few pantry staples. It's incredible fresh, tasty, and super creamy!
Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
Ingredients
- 19 oz Canned Chickpeas (19 oz or 540 mL can) drained & rinsed
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- 1.5 tbsp Lemon Juice Fresh or store bought
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 clove Fresh Garlic peeled
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
- 1 tbsp Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas) See above ingredient list
- 3 tbsp Water
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Cumin
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by draining and rinsing the chickpeas. No need to remove the skin, keep things easy and simple. Peel the garlic, squeeze your fresh lemon juice, and have all your ingredients ready to go.
- Add the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, parsley, water, aquafaba, sat, and cumin to the food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste the hummus and tweak as needed. If the hummus is too thick, mix in an additional 1 tablespoon of water at a time until you've reached your desired creaminess.
Save 1 tablespoon of the liquid from the can (aquafaba) to add for extra creaminess.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 to 7 days. If the top looks a little dry later on, just give it a quick stir with a tiny drizzle of olive oil to refresh it.
Serving Tip: Spread the hummus into a shallow bowl using the back of a spoon and create swirls. Garnish the top with extra chopped parsley, a sprinkle of cumin or paprika, and a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. The options are endless!
