Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients

  • 2 roasted red peppers (jarred) OR roast 2 red peppers at 450 degreed Fahrenheit for 30 minutes (turn halfway through roasting)
  • 1 540 ml can chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons tahini
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes optional
  • 7 tablespoons olive oil
  • minced garlic, chili flakes, and chopped fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • If roasting your own peppers, roast 2 red bell peppers at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes (turning once during roasting). Let cool. Remove the stems and seeds.
  • Add the roasted red peppers to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. If using jarred peppers, use approximately the equivalent of 2 bell peppers.

  • Blend on high speed and drizzle the olive oil in while the food processor is on, and continue blending until the hummus is smooth and creamy.

  • Serve with pita chips or veggies for dipping.
