🧂 Ingredients Needed

• chickpeas - also called garbanzo beans, these legumes are the classic base of any delicious hummus.

• minced garlic - gives your hummus a nice sharp flavor.
• lemon juice - helps balance out some of the savory flavors with some acidity.
• smoked paprika - provides a delicious smoky flavor that compliments the roasted peppers.

2. To a food processor, add chickpeas, red peppers, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and salt.
