Quick and Easy Homemade Hummus Recipe

Hummus Ingredients

• 1 – 15-oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (reserving the aquafaba)
• 1-2 cloves minced garlic
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp ground flax seed
• Pinch of your favorite seasoning (mine is cayenne)
• Olive oil for drizzling

You’ll find these kitchen tools useful (I've included affiliate links to the products I use at home):

• Food processor – I love my Kitchenaid 9-cup Food Processor, it is great for small or large tasks and simple to use.

Quick and Easy Directions

1. Drain the can of chickpeas, reserving the aquafaba for the recipe.
2. Using food processor pulse chickpeas, then add in salt, lemon, garlic, olive oil, and ground flax. After thoroughly combining, slowly add the aquafava you set aside. Keep adding until you reach the desired consistency.
3. Pour the finished hummus into your serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite seasoning! I love cayenne it gives the hummus a little kick but paprika, sundried tomatoes, and even nutritional yeast make great additions.

This Quick and Easy Homemade Hummus is not only delicious but also packed with wholesome ingredients. You can customize it with your favorite seasonings or add in some roasted garlic for a perfect snack. Whether you enjoy it with veggies, pita chips, or as a spread, this hummus is sure to become a go-to healthy snack in your home.
