How to Make Hummus

We’ll walk you through how to make this homemade roasted red pepper hummus in a simple 3-step process:

Roast and Prep

Cut your red pepper in half, and place skin-side up on an oiled baking sheet with whole garlic cloves. Roast in the oven at 450° for 15 minutes before flipping and roasting for another 15 minutes. While your red pepper is roasting, now’s the time to prep the rest of your ingredients that will all go right into your food processor. Gather, and place into your food processor:

• Canned garbanzo beans (drained)
• Tahini
• Lemon juice (we love juicing a fresh lemon for this recipe!)
• Spices: cumin, paprika, sea salt

Food Process / Blend

Place all your ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender, and blend until smooth. Then, you’re off to the most delicious roasted red pepper hummus of your life.

Dippity Dip!

This homemade hummus is delicious as a dip for sliced veggies, pita chips, tortilla chips — really anything you can scoop hummus onto 😀 It’s also fantastic as a sandwich spread, dolloped on a grain bowl or salad, or as a savory addition to your breakfast. What’s your favorite way to enjoy hummus?

Can you Make More than One Batch at Once?

Yes! This is a great recipe to make a double or triple batch. If you have a large enough food processor, simply put everything into the food processor and blend at once, but if you’re working with a smaller food processor, you’ll just need to blend in batches, and mix together at the end.

How to Store Hummus

Store this hummus in an air-tight container in the fridge, and it will keep well for up to 5 days.
