Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 1-3 Tbsp aquafaba
  • 3/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1-2 pieces jalapeño peppers chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2-4 Tbsp tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp fine grain salt

Instructions

  • Gather all your ingredients. Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans, and set aside the aquafaba. Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapeño peppers.
  • In your food processor, combine the drained garbanzo beans, 1 tablespoon of aquafaba, cilantro, lime juice, tahini, minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt.
  • Add the chopped jalapeño peppers to the food processor. Adjust the amount according to your heat preference.
  • Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. If it’s too thick, add another tablespoon of aquafaba until you achieve your desired creaminess.
  • Taste the hummus and adjust salt, lime juice, or add more jalapeño if desired.
  • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle extra cilantro on top, and serve with veggies, pita bread, or crackers.
