Ingredients

15 ounce can chickpeas
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup tahini
3 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 medium clove garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1/4 cup water see note

Instructions

Pour the 15 ounce can chickpeas into a mesh strainer or colander to drain (save the aquafaba in a bowl for another use if desired). Transfer the chickpeas to a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chickpeas in the microwave until steaming, about 1 minute on high.
Puree the chickpeas, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup tahini, 3 Tablespoon lemon juice, 1 medium clove garlic 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika using a food processor or immersion blender. Add water, 1 Tablespoon at a time until you acheive your desired texture. The hummus can be eaten right away, but it is best to cover it and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

Note: You may need more or less water to achieve your desired texture. Start off by pureeing all other ingredients first, then add water 1 Tbsp at a time until you get the consistency you want.
