Oil Free Hummus
If you want to know how to make an oil-free hummus then look no further. After tinkering with a few iterations we finally came up with a no-brainer banger that everyone in our house gobbles up.
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice (fresh if possible)
- 1 clove Garlic (Sliced)
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 cup Tahini
- 1 1/2 cup Chickpeas (over-cooked if possible)
- 2-4 tbsp Cold Water
In a food processor combine the lemon juice, garlic and salt and process until the garlic is finely chopped up. Let it rest for 10 minutes or longer to help mellow out the garlic. If you like it super garlicky then by all means jump right ahead to the next step!
Add the tahini and process again, leave it till that’s beautifully creamy all throughout. Scrape down the sides as needed and keep going.
Add in two tablespoons of the ice water and blent against until it’s all nice and smooth. Keep scraping down the sides as needed.
Now add in your chickpeas , blend until super smooth, add water by the tablespoon until you have the consistency that you like.
Add a little more salt or any other flavours you desire. This is a great base to totally take and customize to your liking.
Use this as a sandwich bread, or simply use it for crackers and veggies as a dip. However you like it smash it into your face!

If you’re cooking the chickpeas yourself then throw in a 1/2 tsp baking soda and put them on a little longer than usual - overcooking them adds to the creamy factor.
