2. Combine Ingredients: In a large food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, minced garlic, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Blend Until Smooth: Process the ingredients until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor occasionally to ensure everything is well combined.

4. Adjust Consistency: While blending, gradually add the juice from the chickpea can until you reach your desired consistency. Some prefer their hummus thicker, while others like it smoother and more spreadable.

5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or garlic according to your taste preferences.

6. Serve or Store: Transfer the garlic hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of cumin or paprika for garnish if desired. Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh veggies, or use as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.

7. Storage: Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Hummus can also be frozen for longer storage.

Tips:

• For a smoother texture, you can peel the chickpeas before blending, although this step is optional.
• Experiment with additional flavors such as lemon juice, roasted red peppers, or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to customize your hummus.
• This recipe can easily be halved or doubled depending on your needs.
