Ingredients

1 large red pepper halved and seeded
4 whole garlic cloves peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil divided
15 oz. canned garbanzo beans rinsed and strained
3 tablespoons tahini
3 tablespoons lemon juice ~1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt**

Instructions

First, preheat oven to 450ºF and spray the baking sheet with non-stick baking spray.
Then, place the garlic cloves and the red pepper (skin side up) onto the oiled baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes, before flipping sides. Roast for another 15 minutes. At this point, there should be black spots all over the red pepper.
Remove red peppers and garlic from the oven and set aside to cool.
Next, place garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, and cumin into a rood processor and blend until smooth.
Finally, add the red pepper and garlic to the food processor and blend until smooth.*
Serve with vegetables, crackers, or any of your favorite accouterments.

Tips & Notes
