This quick and creamy hummus recipe comes together in just three minutes using canned chickpeas and a high-powered blender. Perfect as a healthy snack or appetizer, it offers a smooth texture with a balanced flavor of garlic, lemon, and cumin, topped off with olive oil, paprika, and fresh parsley for a classic presentation.

Ingredients

Hummus Ingredients

  • 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained with liquid reserved
  • ⅓ cup chickpea liquid (aquafaba), or more as needed
  • ½ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Garnish

  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Paprika
  • Freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Drain two cans of chickpeas, reserving the liquid (aquafaba). Juice two lemons and peel two garlic cloves in preparation for blending.
  2. Add to Blender: Place the drained chickpeas, ⅓ cup of reserved chickpea liquid, ½ cup tahini, ¼ cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and kosher salt into a high-powered blender. Secure the lid firmly.
  3. Blend the Hummus: Turn the blender on high for about 30 seconds. While blending, use the blender tamper through the lid opening to press the mixture down towards the blades. Continue blending until smooth and creamy. Add more chickpea liquid if a softer hummus consistency is desired.
  4. Transfer and Garnish: Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil on top, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the hummus immediately with pita, vegetables, or as a spread.

Notes

  • Using the reserved chickpea liquid (aquafaba) helps achieve a creamy, silky texture.
  • For an even smoother hummus, blend longer or add more liquid gradually.
  • Fresh lemon juice is recommended for the best flavor instead of bottled lemon juice.
  • This recipe yields approximately 16 servings, perfect for parties or meal prep.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
