Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt

Instructions
1. Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and sea salt to a food processor or blender.

3. Once the hummus is smooth, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more lemon juice for brightness, salt for seasoning, or cumin for depth of flavor.
4. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
5. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
6. Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
