This was sooo good! The only change I made was that I didn’t roast my own red pepper but bought the store-bought kind. Great recipe!
I bet it was equally as delicious!!!
That looks so delicious! Do you remove the skin from the garbanzo beans before processing them? Just wondering if it makes a difference to how smooth the hummus turns out?
I did not remove the skins! Your food processor should pulverize everything just fine ๐
Delish! I added a squeeze of siracha for a little spice!! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing addition. Love me some spice!
We’ll YUM!! I am such a hummus fan but I have to be kind of careful with it because chickpeas + my tummy aren’t really the best of friends. On the other hand, those edamame chips look riiightt up my alley. Delish!
0o booooo. I heart chick peas. I would be sooooo sad if I couldn’t eat them!
Good lord, Lee, this looks and sounds phenomenal! I really want to make it! Maybe I can “borrow” (haha) my parents’ food processor, they don’t use it anyway. I have a big can of chickpeas waiting in my pantry to be used! How big is the can that you use in this recipe?
Are you still travelling? If so, take care!
ET A FOOD PROCESSORRRRRRRR! The can is 15 oz….I should totally specify that ๐ And yes, I am writing to you from Tel Aviv…we just ate a giant vegan dinner at the most amazing Israeli cafe. #dontwannaleave
This hummus is reason number 10,465 why I need a food processor. Sounds amazing! Also, hooray for local companies. ๐
Get a damn food processor!!!! Seriously if I could only have 1 kitchen appliance other than an oven it would be a food processor!
This sounds deeelicious, as do those edamame chips!!
They are so crunchy and delish!!
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is my all time favorite! It is always the flavor I either make my own of or buy in the store! You can never go wrong ๐
True dat sista! And roasting your own red peppers is so easy!
I’ve never made hummus, but you make it seem so easy! The roasted red pepper is an added bonus! Thanks for sharing!
STOP IT!!!! Homemade hummus is about to change your life!
This looks so.good!! I love making my own chickpeas in the crockpot, but have only stuck to making “original” hummus. I’m excited to give this roasted red pepper a try. I’ve never tried CrunchMaster chips before…I don’t think I’ve seen them at the store? I typically buy the Way Better brand which are pretty good too! Hope you’re having a good trip ๐
Thanks chica! I’ve actually been eating a TON of hummus….all original though, it’s making me this roasted red pepper variation ๐
