Equipment
- Food Processor
- Blender
Ingredients
- 15 ounce garbanzo beans drained and rinsed well
- 2 tablespoon water
- ⅓ cup tahini prepared
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice of half lemon
- 3 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Start by placing the garbanzo beans in a microwave-safe bowl along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the bowl with a wet paper towel. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. This step warms up the beans and makes them easier to blend, enhancing the creamy texture.
- In a food processor or blender, combine all the hummus ingredients: the warmed garbanzo beans, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, everything bagel seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Blend on high for 1 minute. You should see a smooth mixture forming.
- Stop to scrape down the sides of the processor, ensuring all ingredients mix thoroughly. Blend again for an additional minute. This is where the magic happens—watch as it transforms into a creamy blend!
- If the hummus seems too thick, feel free to add more water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. It’s important to make it a bit looser than you want, as it thickens up a little when it stands.
- Once you have the perfect texture, taste your hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a little more salt or pepper according to your preference.
- Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making the hummus even tastier.
- Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for that extra flair. I love to drizzle a little more olive oil on top for a rich finish. Serve with pita bread, veggies, or crackers!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 5 days. Enjoy your delicious Homemade Everything Hummus as a go-to snack or appetizer!
