Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
December 22, 2020 • 0 comments
While I do love the roasted red pepper hummuses you can buy at the store, making it from home is so much cheaper (and just as delicious). Plus, you have the added bonus of not needing to include any stabilizing ingredients or other unnecessary stuff. Just a few, simple, delicious, whole ingredients stuffed into my Blendtec and pureed into a creamy goodness.
Ingredients
- (2 cups) Cooked garbanzo beans
- (1/4 cup) Tahini
- (1/2 cup) Olive oil
- (3/4 cup) Filtered water
- (2 1/2 tsp) Garlic salt
- (3 Tbsp, about 1 small lemon) Lemon juice
- (1-2 tsp) Salt
- (1/3, or 2 mini) Red bell pepper
Directions
For the roasted red peppers.
Turn the oven on to 400.
Wash the red pepper and slice it into small-ish chunks.
Place the red pepper on a cookie sheet and roast for about 5 minutes, or until it blisters.
For the hummus.
Put everything but the red peppers in a food processor or high powered blender (I use a Blendtec). Blend until smooth, adding more olive oil, if necessary to achieve your desired texture.
Dump in red pepper and blend to combine.
Drizzle with olive oil and eat with chips or veggies.
Cover leftovers and store in the fridge.
