What’s In This Garlic Hummus Recipe with Tahini?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- No Salt Added Chickpeas: the staple of all hummuses! You can use canned chickpeas (I’d highly recommend a low sodium or no salt version), or you can make your own chickpeas from scratch in the Instant Pot. Either way, keep 1 cup of the canning liquid to add back to the hummus to make it extra creamy.
- Olive Oil
- Garlic – I used cloves of raw garlic for this hummus.
- Lemon
- Garlic Salt: for a little extra flavor than traditional salt. I like to use this garlic salt in my savory Italian dishes for that extra kick.
- Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
- Chili flakes for garnish
- Parsley for garnish
How Do I Make This Garlic Hummus with Tahini?
- Add the chickpeas, garlic cloves, lemon, cumin, garlic salt, and olive oil to a food processor.
- Start by pulsing on low speed and work up to high speed until the hummus is creamy and well combined. If the hummus is too dry, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil.
- Transfer the hummus to a dish and sprinkle chili flakes and parsley on top. Dip vegetables, pita chips, or crackers into the hummus and enjoy!
Make Ahead Garlic Hummus
