For a long time, we made it in our food processor, but then we got a Vitamix and it makes it so nice and smooth. Either way, it’s very versatile and is good with pita chips or veggies, or a great base for a veggie pizza! Enjoy! If your house is anything like ours, it won’t last long!

The wonderful thing about hummus is there are so many ways to make it--so many flavors!! This is a family favorite--my husband's creation and for awhile, the only hummus my daughter would eat. We hope you enjoy it!
Ingredients
- 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed, reserve the juice
- ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- a pinch or two of cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain the cans of chickpeas but be sure to reserve the juice--you will use this later to smooth out your hummus and help to process it.
- Peel garlic cloves.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor, blending until smooth. Add chickpea juice as needed to get to the perfect hummus consistency.
- Spoon into a bowl and enjoy with pita chips, tortilla chips, carrots, pretzels, your finger....take your pick!
