Combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, and salt in a food processor. Process until the mixture is thick and mostly smooth, about 1 minute.

Add water one tablespoon at a time while the processor is running until the hummus reaches a light, spreadable consistency — it should be silky but still hold its shape.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice as desired.

Transfer the hummus to a shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a spiral well in the center.

Scatter the toasted pine nuts and sliced scallions over the top, then drizzle generously with olive oil. Serve immediately while the pine nuts are still crisp.
