Ingredients

• 3 (15.5 ounce) cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed (save the aquafaba!)
• 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced (or 3 teaspoons minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1. Put all the ingredients in a blender (except the water and paprika).
2. Use the puree setting on the blender to mix everything until it is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, turn off the blender, and drizzle in a little water (up to 1/4 cup) and puree again until it's the right texture for dipping.
3. Turn off the blender and wait until it has completely stopped. Use a spatula to scrape all the hummus into a shallow bowl.
4. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the top, and sprinkle it with paprika.
