Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe
One of my favourite hummus recipes of all time, it's time for a little roasted red pepper hummus! It's perfect for serving with fresh pita or veggies, and will be your go to lunch or snack all summer long! The best part? It's ready in 10 minutes or less!
Ingredients
- 16oz Chickpeas - Save some of the liquid
- 2-3 tbsp Tahini
- 3 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Chickpea Liquid
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers - jarred will work
- 1 tbsp Baking Soda
Instructions
- Begin by adding 1 tbsp of baking soda and your chickpeas to a bowl. Pop in the microwave for 90 seconds.
- Fill a large bowl with cold water, and dump in your chickpeas when ready. Begin gently rubbing your chickpeas to remove the skins (2-3 minutes).
- Use a small strainer to scoop out all your chickpea skins from your water (don't worry if you missed some), then drain your chickpeas and rinse.
- If you're using jarred roasted red pepper be sure to pat them very dry before adding to the blender/food processor!
- Add all your ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Finish off with a little more chipolte and enjoy with fresh veggies and pita!
Notes
Removing your skins from your chickpeas isn't essential, but it will make for a smoother consistency!
