Easy Homemade Hummus

Easy Homemade Hummus is incredibly smooth, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Made with simple ingredients in just 10 minutes!

Hummus is easily my favorite dip/spread. The nutty flavor from the chickpeas and tahini paired with the bright lemon flavor is everything. Not only does it taste amazing but it’s healthy too – containing high amounts of several important nutrients, fiber, and protein.

I can be quite picky when it comes to hummus. I don’t like hummus that is too thick or too thin – the sweet spot for me is right in the middle. It shouldn’t drip off a carrot, but dollop off. So, I had some high standards when crafting this recipe. I can assure you that after trying this you won’t want to go back to store-bought hummus, both for the taste and for how easy it is to make, without all the preservative and unnecessary ingredients!

Ingredients – Easy Homemade Hummus

• Chickpeas – straight from the can. Many hummus recipes require you to get dry chickpeas and cook them, but there’s really no need for that. The difference in flavor is hardly noticeable in my opinion.

• Tahini – a paste made from roasted sesame seeds. This nutty paste is what makes the hummus! I like Trader Joe’s brand the best.

• Lemon – use a fresh lemon for the best flavor.

• Garlic – one small clove of garlic will take you far.

• Olive Oil – use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.

• Water – this will make it smooth and fluffy.

• Salt – to enhance the flavor.

• Paprika – for a little depth of flavor.

How to Make Easy Homemade Hummus

When I say Easy Homemade Hummus, I really mean easy. Just combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth and creamy ~ about 1-2 minutes! My food processor is linked here on Amazon – it’s a kitchen staple and a great investments. I use it all the time for several recipes here on my blog, such as my Homemade Almond Butter, and it comes with all the bells and whistles.

I garnish my hummus with a drizzle of olive oil, chickpeas, fresh parsley and a sprinkle of paprika.

Some of my favorite ways to eat this Easy Homemade Hummus are with carrots, cucumbers, celery, pita bread, on wraps, or as a dressing on a roasted veggie bowl – it’s amazing!

This hummus keeps great in the fridge and is perfect to have on hand as a snack with veggies, as a meal-prep, or as a spread/dip for when you have company.
