- Drain the chickpeas over a colander, reserving the liquid in a bowl. Skip to step 5 if not removing the skins from the chickpeas.
- To remove the skins for creamier hummus: rinse the chickpeas and add them to a small microwave-safe bowl.
- Toss the chickpeas in 1 ½ tsp. baking soda and microwave them for 90 seconds.
- Pour the hot chickpeas into a large bowl and cover with cool water. Gently rub the chickpeas between your hands to remove the skins. Drain off the water with the skins, and repeat the process until all the skins have been removed. It may take 4-5 changes of water.
- Add the chickpeas (with skins on or off), ¼ cup of chickpea liquid from the can, and all other ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth, about 60 seconds. If things aren't moving around very well, you can add 2 extra tbsp. at a time of the chickpea liquid.

Tips:
- Soak the chickpeas overnight: Soaking the chickpeas overnight will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will make it easy to get a smooth and creamy hummus. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take a bit longer.
- Add flavor variations: There are many different ways to flavor hummus. Some popular variations include adding roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, or herbs. You can also add a bit of spice with chili powder or cumin.
- Serve with your favorite dippers: Hummus is a great dip for vegetables, pita bread, or chips. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or a salad dressing.

Hummus is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
