Step 1: Get your chickpeas ready. Use canned chickpeas or dried chickpeas that you have cooked ahead of time. Rinse and drain thoroughly.

Step 2

Step 2: Gently squeeze the chickpeas and remove the thin skin. This step is optional but recommended for smoother hummus.

Step 3: Place peeled chickpeas, olive oil, garlic, salt, and water in a food processor or blender. Add lemon juice and tahini for authentic flavor if desired.

Step 4

Step 4: Process until smooth. Serve with pita chips, vegetables, or as a spread or dressing.

Chef’s notes

You can reserve the liquid from canned chickpeas (aquafaba) for use in other vegan recipes.

Peeling chickpeas results in a smoother hummus.
