Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
- 1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, roasted
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2-3 tablespoons water (as needed for consistency)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 10 minutes or until they are soft and fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly before use.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, roasted garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and salt.
Process the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, pausing as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil if desired.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, and chopped fresh parsley, if using.
Serve the hummus with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping, or use as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.
