Equipment

  • Food processor or blender
  • Baking spatula
  • Strainer

Ingredients

  • 30 oz cans of chickpeas (2 15oz cans) Keep the chickpea water
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil ~13g
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Open both cans of chickpeas and pour into a strainer over a large bowl to keep the aquafaba, or chickpea water. Remove bowl and rinse chickpeas with cold water.
  • Optional: Remove the thin shells on all of the chickpeas. While this step isn't mandatory, it makes the hummus turn out much smoother.
  • Pour chickpeas, garlic cloves, lemon juice and olive oil into a food processor and blend.
  • Slowly add in 10 tbsp's of the aquafaba, or chickpea water. If you desire a thinner hummus, continue adding more water to achieve your desired texture.
  • Using a baking spatula, remove the hummus from the food processor into an airtight container. Enjoy with carrots, celery, crackers, mini pitas or chips!
