Ingredients

• 400 grams Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 1 pinch Optional: extra smoked paprika for garnish
• 1 tablespoon Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
• 1 teaspoon Optional: olive oil drizzle for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the drained chickpeas and unpeeled garlic cloves on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chickpeas and garlic, then sprinkle with half the smoked paprika (0.5 teaspoon). Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the chickpeas and garlic in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Peel the roasted garlic cloves by gently squeezing them out of their skins and discard the skins.

Step 6

In a food processor, combine the roasted chickpeas, roasted garlic, tahini, lemon juice, remaining olive oil (2 tablespoons), cumin, remaining smoked paprika (0.5 teaspoon), salt, black pepper, and 4 tablespoons of water.

Step 7

Blend the mixture for 2–3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or smoked paprika if desired.

Step 9

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. For garnish, you can drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle extra smoked paprika, and add a touch of fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
