Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (Nate Grady photo)
Did you have your beans today?
It is incredibly easy to whip together a delicious dip for snack, lunch, or dinner. If you already have the ingredients in the house, it only takes about fifteen minutes to assemble and whip.
This version walks on the lighter side (compared to classic hummus) due to the addition of a jar of red peppers.
Forget the usual crackers and enjoy with sliced veggies for added nutritional wallop OR try it Devin’s way as a layer on a Veggie Burger and spinach sandwich.
INGREDIENTS
1 can (15.5 oz.) chick peas ~ drained and rinsed to remove most of the bubbling foam
1 jar (12 oz.) roasted red peppers ~ drained and rinsed to remove salt
1 T. lemon juice
1/4 to 1/3 c. Tahini sesame paste (less if trying to lose weight)
1 t. garlic powder (better than using fresh garlic because it disperses better)
DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients and whip with an immersion blender until smooth .

good with veggies (as pictured)… but I bet it’d be awesome with pita chips!
I have never taste this dish but wish to taste in future if it is really helping to keep fit and fine of human body…thanks for good taste as well as tasty post..
Isha, Thanks for your comment. And yes, if the cook keeps the tahini limited, all types of hummus are excellent and nutritious foods that we should enjoy regularly.
Would love to hear how you like the roasted red pepper hummus when you try it.
