Ingredients

  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil plus more for topping
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika plus more for topping
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • water as needed
  • fresh parsley for topping

Instructions
 

  • Remove the skins from the chickpeas.*
  • Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt & pepper to a food processor. Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. 
  • If the hummus is too thick, add water or additional olive oil and blend again until the desired consistency is reached. 
  • Transfer to a bowl and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Remove from the fridge and top with additional olive oil, chick peas, smoked paprika and/or fresh parsley.
  • Serve with warm pita and/or veggies.

Notes

*You don't have to do this step, but I highly, HIGHLY, recommend it for a creamier hummus.
**This will keep in the fridge for 5 days.
