Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil, plus more for serving
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2–3 tbsp cold water (as needed)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin (for classic)
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for Moroccan)

- 1/3 cup roasted red peppers, chopped (for roasted red pepper version)

Instructions
- For the classic hummus: In a food processor, blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, cumin, and 2 tbsp water until smooth and creamy. Add more water for a thinner consistency if needed.
- For the Moroccan hummus: Scoop half the classic hummus into a bowl. To the remaining hummus in the processor, add smoked paprika, coriander, and harissa or preserved lemon if using. Blend to combine.
- For the roasted red pepper hummus: Scoop another portion of classic hummus into a bowl. To the remaining base, add roasted red peppers and blend until smooth and vibrant.
- Spoon each hummus flavor into separate bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs or gluten-free dukkah if desired.
- Serve with carrot sticks, cucumber slices, radish, gluten-free pita chips, or your favorite gluten-free crackers. Enjoy!
Notes
Always check your tahini and spices for gluten-free certification. For extra creamy hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending. Customize spices to taste, and feel free to swap in other gluten-free add-ins like lemon zest, beets, or jalapeño for more variety.
