Ingredients
  

For the Hummus:
  • 1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas) drained, liquid reserved
  • 1/4 cup creamy Sunbutter
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Salted roasted sunflower seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Serving dish

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by draining the can of garbanzo beans, but don’t throw away the liquid! Rinse the chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium.
  2. In your food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, creamy Sunbutter, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Blend until it starts to come together.
  3. Gradually add in the reserved chickpea liquid, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Taste your hummus and add more salt or lemon juice if desired to fine-tune the flavor.
  5. Transfer the hummus to a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salted roasted sunflower seeds.

Notes

  • Store hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Adjust consistency with more aquafaba for creaminess.
