Add the lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and ground black pepper to the food processor. Pulse a few more times to blend the flavors evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
