Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups Cooked Garbanzo Beans - Recipe here: www.inspirecreatewellness.com/garbanzo-beans
  • 1/2 cup Cooking Liquid from Beans (more may be needed)
  • 1 Small Organic Lemon (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 cup Tahini
  • 3 cloves Organic Garlic
  • 1 tsp Organic Cumin
  • 1 tsp Organic Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2-3 Tbs Cold Pressed Olive Oil + more to drizzle on top
  • 1-2 tsp Organic Everything Bagel Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Add Cooked Garbanzo Beans to a food processor or high speed blender.
  • Next, add the liquid from cooking the beans along with the Tahini, freshly squeezed Lemon, and Garlic Cloves.
  • Add Cumin, Onion Powder, and Sea Salt.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • While the food processor or blender is on, drizzle 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil through the opening and continue until well blended.
  • More cooking liquid may be needed depending on the consistency of the tahini and amount of lemon juice. If needed, add 1 Tbsp at a time until its super creamy.
  • Scrape hummus into a bowl and drizzle with an additional 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil. Sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning on top.
  • Not a fan of Everything Bagel Seasoning??? Try Red Pepper Flakes for a spicier hummus or Smoked Paprika. It is also great with just Olive Oil on top!
  • Hummus lasts for about a week in the refrigerator.

Notes

A food processor is easier to get the hummus out when done.  The high speed blender makes the creamiest hummus.  You decide which works best for you!  Allow garbanzo beans and cooking liquid to cool slightly before making hummus.  Tahini is shelf stable even after the jar is open so it's a great item to have in your pantry.  Serve hummus with cut up veggies, on flatbread, or in a wrap for additional protein.  It's also great in a brown rice or quinoa bowl.
