- For an extra smooth hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas before blending.
- Save some of the chickpea liquid (aquafaba) to adjust the consistency of your hummus; it can make the hummus smoother without adding more oil.
- Experiment with additional spices or toppings like paprika, parsley, or roasted red peppers for added flavor and presentation.
- Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
