Pour in 1/4 cup olive oil.

Add 1 teaspoon cumin and a pinch or two of kosher salt to the blender.

Start with 1/3 cup of reserved aquafaba and add it to the blender.

Blend all ingredients together, using the tamper to push the hummus into the blades as needed, for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the hummus and sprinkle with paprika and fresh parsley.
