Ingredients
Scale
White Bean Base
- 2 15.5-ounce cans white beans (such as great northern, navy beans, or cannellini), including the liquid brine from one can
Aromatics & Flavorings
- 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled
- Juice of 2 lemons
- ½ cup tahini
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Drain one can of white beans completely to remove the liquid brine, but keep the liquid from the other can. Peel the garlic cloves and juice the lemons carefully to remove seeds.
- Combine in Food Processor: Add the full can of beans with the brine, the drained beans from the other can, peeled garlic cloves, fresh lemon juice, tahini, sea salt, and onion powder into the bowl of a food processor.
- Process to Smoothness: Blend the ingredients continuously for several minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Adjust and Serve: Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spoon. Sprinkle with smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor or garnish with additional beans, chopped fresh herbs, or pine nuts if desired.
Notes
- For a thinner consistency, add a small amount of water or additional lemon juice during processing.
- Adjust salt to taste depending on your preference.
- The aquafaba (bean liquid) helps achieve a creamy texture similar to traditional chickpea hummus.
- Smoked paprika adds a gentle smoky flavor but can be omitted for a milder dip.
- Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers.
