Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas in a food processor or high-powered blender.
Add tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt to the food processor.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor with a spatula.
Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. You can add more water if needed.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, cumin, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks, whole-grain crackers, or use as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
