Rinse and drain the garbanzo beans. Peel the skin off the beans one at a time. Using your thumb and first two fingers works best. This will only take 5-6 minutes.
Place peeled garbanzo beans into a food processor. Add the tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic clove, onion powder, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Pulse until well combined.
Then add some of the water to the food processor, and pulse. Continue adding additional water until very smooth. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as needed.
Spread the hummus on a large plate. Then add some chopped cucumbers, red onions, extra garbanzo beans, extra olive oil, and salt and pepper.
Serve hummus with pita chips and veggies of your choice.
