Equipment

1 food processor

Ingredients

1 15 oz can chickpeas low-sodium (reserve ¼ cup liquid)
2 cloves of garlic
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)
⅓ cup tahini
1 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp matcha powder
3 ice cubes
½ tsp salt, or to taste
1 Tbsp olive oil, optional drizzle on top

Instructions

Prepare chickpeas: Drain the chickpeas and set aside ¼ cup of the liquid from the can. This reserved liquid (aquafaba) will help blend the hummus to a smooth consistency. If using cooked chickpeas from scratch, reserve ¼ cup of the cooking liquid (aquafaba) to use in the recipe.
Combine base ingredients: In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, reserved chickpea liquid, garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, matcha powder, and ½ tsp of salt.
Initial blend: Process the ingredients for about 30–60 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should begin to break down but may still be thick or slightly grainy.
Add ice cubes and blend until smooth: Drop in 3 ice cubes and continue blending for 1 to 2 more minutes. The ice helps whip the hummus into a smooth, fluffy texture. Blend until creamy and well incorporated. Scrape down sides again if necessary.
Taste and adjust: Taste your hummus and adjust salt, lemon juice, or matcha as needed. For a thinner texture, blend in a little more chickpea liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Serve and Enjoy! Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and garnish with a light dusting of matcha powder, cumin, or sesame seeds.

Notes

Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before serving. Not recommended for freezing due to texture changes.
