🔪 How to Make Homemade Hummus

Follow the directions to make the Air Fryer Roasted Garlic, then set it aside to cool slightly while you gather the other ingredients.

Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and roasted garlic cloves to the bowl of a food processor or high-powered blender.

Blend for 3-5 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides a few times, until the mixture is smooth.  If it’s too thick, add a small amount of olive oil and lemon juice until you get the perfect texture.

Spoon out into a bowl and top with a drizzle of olive oil, then serve with fresh veggies, crackers, wedges of pita, these 4 seed crackers or these low-carb tortilla chips.

💡 Hummus Top Tips

• Perfectly roasted garlic: Don’t rush the roasting process. Whether you roast it in the oven or in the air fryer, you want to give the garlic enough time to soften. This allows all the natural sweetness to develop.

• Quality matters: Because there are only a handful of ingredients, they need to be of good quality. Choose high-quality tahini, olive oil, and fresh lemon juice for the best-tasting hummus.

• Rinse chickpeas thoroughly: Rinse and drain chickpeas well to remove excess salt and starch. This creates that nice, creamy hummus texture.

• Slowly adjust the seasoning: Start with a little less salt and adjust to taste. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it out once it's in.

• Blending is key: To achieve that silky-smooth consistency that makes hummus perfect, be patient. Allow it to blend until it’s nice and smooth and the graininess of the peas is gone.

• Consistency control: If the hummus seems too thick, gradually add small amounts of olive oil or lemon juice until it is the thickness you prefer.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Fridge: Store leftover hummus in an airtight container or a covered bowl in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about 5–6 days.

Freezer: If you need to store your hummus for a longer period, you can freeze it in an airtight container. Keep in mind that freezing may slightly change the texture. To thaw, place it in the refrigerator overnight. Then, just give it a good stir before serving.

• Kick up the heat: For a spicy kick, mix in a dash of Sriracha, hot sauce, or red pepper flakes.
