- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 2 teaspoon ground cumin
- to taste Salt Salt

- In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, roasted garlic (squeeze the cloves out of their skins), tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, create a swirl in the center, and drizzle with extra olive oil. Sprinkle paprika over the top for a pop of color.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve with warm pita bread, fresh veggie sticks, or crispy pita chips. A sprinkle of chopped parsley or a few whole chickpeas on top can add an extra touch of elegance!
