Instructions
- 1
Drain the garbanzo beans, reserving about half the liquid. Set the remaining liquid aside in case you want it later for consistency.
- 2
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them with the side of a knife.
- 3
Combine the drained garbanzo beans, crushed garlic, and the reserved half of the bean liquid in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2-3 minutes to infuse the garlic flavor into the beans and liquid. Let cool slightly.
- 4
Add the bean-garlic mixture, tahini, and ground flaxseed to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding a little of the remaining reserved liquid if needed to reach your preferred consistency.
- 5
Season with salt to taste. Blend again briefly to incorporate.
- 6
Wash the carrots and cut into sticks for dipping.
- 7
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and serve with the carrot sticks.
