Instructions
Drain the garbanzo beans. Peel the skin off one at a time (using your thumb and first two fingers), and add beans to food processor.
Add tahini paste, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic, salt, onion powder, 2 Tablespoons of the pine nuts, a teaspoon of the Everything Bagel Seasoning, and about half of the water. Pulse until smooth.
Add water as needed to thin. I ended up using more water than I thought I would need, because I like it really smooth.
Spoon hummus into a bowl to serve. Give the top a couple of swirls of olive oil, and then top with the remaining pine nuts plus more of the Everything Bagel Spice.
Serve hummus with crackers, pita chips, and/or veggies.
Notes
Peeling the skin off of the garbanzo beans is necessary to get a creamy texture.
Adding the cold water is what makes the hummus ultra creamy and light. Use the amount that makes the consistency right for you.
You can adjust the spices to your liking, or add others.
