INSTRUCTIONS

  • Rinse and strain chickpeas
  • Using a saucepan, add chickpeas, baking soda and enough water to cover by 2 inches
  • Boil for 20 minutes 
  • While your chickpeas are boiling, add your lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin and salt to your blender or food processor and let it sit while the chickpeas boil. This neutralizes the garlic a bit. 
  • When your chickpeas are done, rinse and strain again and set aside
  • Add tahini to blender and pulse a few times.
  • This is the most crucial step for getting super creamy hummus - While running your blender with your lemon, garlic, tahini, cumin and salt combo, slowly add in your ice water. The texture should be thick and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little more ice water.
  • Now you’re ready to toss your chickpeas in and blend for 1 minute, scraping sides down as you go.
  •  *If it’s not creamy enough, you can always add more ice water. But it really has to be ice cold!
  • Whisk together coconut aminos, smoked paprika, maple syrup and avocado oil
  • Slice eggplant crosswise into round discs 
  • Arrange discs on a parchment lined baking sheet
  • Using a pastry brush, brush mixture onto each sides of discs
  • Broil on high for 15 minutes, flipping halfway
