Ingredients

Instructions

  • Broil red pepper for about 3-5 minutes on each side until charred and blistered all around (you can also do this on the grill). Carefully remove from oven and immediately tightly wrap with foil. Let stand for 20-30 minutes.

  • While the pepper is resting, add garbanzo beans, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

  • Peel skin from pepper and remove stem and seeds. Set aside a little bit of the pepper to add to the top. Add to blender with garbanzo bean mixture. Blend until smooth.

Notes

  • Add a little curry and cumin to give it more of an Indian flair (so good).
  • If you want it to taste more like a Mexican bean dip, you can add a little taco seasoning.
  • Not a fan of Sriracha but still like a kick of heat? Try adding some Tabasco sauce. You can’t go wrong here!
  • This hummus is naturally gluten free, so for a total GF snack, you just need to watch what you are dipping in it. Gluten free pita bread is always an option but the better taste route is probably just using GF chips or crackers. Costco has SO many great options. I love the “Milton’s” GF chips and also the “Food Should Taste Good” chips. Both go great with this roasted red pepper hummus.
