How to Make Gluten Free Hummus
This is so so simple to make!
1.Start by combining lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until the garlic is finely minced.
2. Add chickpeas, ice water, tahini, cumin, and olive oil to the mixture. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency.
3.Give the hummus a taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
When serving, drizzle some olive oil over the hummus and garnish with reserved chickpeas, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of paprika
Tips
- For an extra-smooth hummus, remove the chickpea skins. After rinsing and draining the chickpeas, rub them gently between your fingers to loosen the skins. They should slip right off.
- If you don’t have tahini, you can substitute another nut or seed butter, like almond butter or cashew butter. However, the flavor will be slightly different.
- Let your hummus sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Hummus tastes even better the next day!
Jazz up your Hummus with this different variations
This recipe is a great base, and you can customize it to your taste preferences. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: Add roasted red peppers along with the chickpeas.
- Spicy Chipotle Hummus: Throw in a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (seeds removed) for a smoky kick.
- Sun-dried Tomato Hummus: Add sun-dried tomatoes and a splash of their oil for a tangy twist.
- Garlic Herb Hummus: Bump up the garlic and add some fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or cilantro.
With a little creativity, you can whip up a batch of hummus that perfectly suits your taste buds. So ditch the store-bought stuff and enjoy making your own delicious, gluten-free hummus at home!
