Ingredients

15 oz chickpeas rinsed and drained
1 ripe avocado
2 tbsp tahini (or an additional tbsp of olive oil)
2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
2-3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2-4 tbsp water to adjust consistency if needed
smoked paprika and sesame seeds for topping, if desired

Instructions

Add chickpeas, avocado, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to a food processor.
Blend until creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired smoothness is reached. Adjust salt or lemon juice to taste.
Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil if desired. Serve with veggies, pita, or crackers. Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.

Notes

Use a ripe avocado for maximum creaminess.
Blend longer than you think for ultra-smooth texture.
Add lemon juice gradually to balance flavor.
Remove chickpea skins (optional) for extra smooth hummus.
