Description
Snack away those hunger pains with this healthy roasted red pepper hummus! Vegan and gluten-free!
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Chickpeas, Undrained
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Chickpeas, Drained.
- ¾ cups Jarred Roasted Red Pepper, Or More To Taste (up To 1 Cup)
- ¼ cups Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- ¼ cups Lemon Juice
- 1 clove Garlic, Peeled
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 pinch Salt To Taste
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper, To Taste (optional)
Preparation
Throw ingredients into blender, except salt and optional cayenne.
For the Vitamix:
Set Vitamix to “Frozen Desserts” setting and let it whirl! Once cycle has finished, season with salt, to taste. I also love adding in cayenne pepper for an extra kick, but that’s up to you!
For the blender:
Set blender on its highest setting and blend until smooth. If you don’t have a very powerful blender, you may need to add more liquid. If you’re concerned your blender isn’t powerful enough, you may also want to peel chickpeas before blending. Once smooth, season with salt and optional cayenne, to taste.
This tastes even better once it’s had a chance to chill in the fridge, so I’d definitely recommend making this a few hours before you actually need it.
I love serving this with a variety of vegetables, pita bread, tortilla chips, and crackers. This is also great in wraps and sandwiches!
