  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 15 oz. garbanzo beans – drained and peeled
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/2 large lemon – freshly squeezed
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 Tablespoons pine nuts – toasted, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Everything But The Bagel Spice – divided
  • 6–8 Tablespoons cold water
  • swirl of olive oil – to serve
  • toasted pita chips, misc veggies – to serve

Instructions

  1. Drain the garbanzo beans. Peel the skin off one at a time (using your thumb and first two fingers), and add beans to food processor.
  2. Add tahini paste, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic, salt, onion powder, 2 Tablespoons of the pine nuts, 1/2 teaspoon of the Everything But The Bagel Spice, and about half of the water. Pulse until smooth.
  3. Add water as needed to thin. I ended up using more water than I thought I would need, because I like it really smooth.
  4. Spoon hummus into a bowl to serve. Give the top a couple of swirls of olive oil, and then top with the remaining 2 Tablespoons of pine nuts plus 1/2 teaspoon of the Everything But the Bagel Spice. Serve with veggies and pita chips.

Notes

  1. Peeling the skin off of the garbanzo beans is necessary to get a creamy texture.
  2. Adding the cold water is what makes the hummus ultra creamy and light. Use the amount that makes the consistency right for you.
  3. You can adjust the spices to your liking, or add others. If you don’t have the Everything But the Bagel Seasoning, try a combination of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, minced onion, and minced garlic.
  4. Reserve some toasted pine nuts for the top.
