Instructions
Easy Garlic Hummus with Crispy Chickpeas
- To make the hummus, add the rinsed and drained chickpeas to a food processor. Top with tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add the garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper (to taste). Blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water until you reach desired consistency.
- To make the crispy chickpeas, bring a medium sized skillet with olive oil to medium heat. Once the oil is warm, add the chickpeas and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper (to taste). Cook, stirring frequently, for 7-10 minutes or until chickpeas are crispy and golden on the outside.
- Serve the hummus topped with the chickpeas and your favorite pita, veggies, or crackers.
Notes
Hummus is a great make-ahead dip. It keeps well in the fridge for up to five days. You can even freeze hummus! It will keep for up to six months in the freezer. It may separate slightly when thawed but just give it a stir and it will be fine.
