Ingredients

• 15 ounces Canned chickpeas
• 1 large Avocado
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by draining and rinsing the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. This will help remove excess sodium and improve the flavor of your hummus.

Step 2

Cut the large avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a food processor.

Step 3

Add the rinsed chickpeas into the food processor with the avocado.

Step 4

Peel and add one large garlic clove, or two if you prefer a more garlicky taste, into the processor.

Step 5

Spoon in the tahini, followed by freshly squeezed lemon juice. This creates a creamy and tangy base for your hummus.

Step 6

Pour in the olive oil, then sprinkle in ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

For a little kick, add cayenne pepper to the mixture if desired.

Step 8

Add a few tablespoons of water to help bind the ingredients together and smoothen the texture.

Step 9

Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a uniform, creamy consistency. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula.

Step 10

Taste your hummus and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lemon juice, or cumin as desired.

Step 11

Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 12

Serve immediately with pita chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or as a spread in sandwiches.
