What is the best way to make hummus from scratch?

Chef's answer
Add cooked chickpeas to a food processor or high-speed blender (a blender will get creamier texture!) along with garlic, tahini, lemon juice, sea salt, and olive oil (or water). Blend until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. At this point, you can add garlic powder and herbs (optional)..
Frequently asked Questions 🎓
With the boom in hummus popularity and global cuisines, tahini paste can now be found in most large supermarkets.
If you feel adventurous, try replacing the tahini with an equal amount of peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, Greek yogurt, chopped roasted peppers, pitted olives, roasted beets, steamed sweet potato, avocado, or thawed frozen peas, to name just a few possibilities.
