Ingredients
1
15-ounce canchickpeas, drained and rinsed
2
red bell peppers
roasted and peeled, or 1 jar (12 ounces) of roasted red peppers
¼
cup
tahini
2
cloves

Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
Combine the chickpeas, red bell peppers, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor.
Blend until smooth, adding water or olive oil as needed to reach your preferred consistency.
Taste and adjust the flavors as needed, adding more lemon juice, garlic, or salt as desired.
Notes
Always rinse canned chickpeas before using to remove any extra sodium.
For a smoother hummus, peel the chickpeas after rinsing them.
If roasting your own red peppers, be sure to remove the skin and seeds before blending.
Add the lemon juice slowly and taste as you go to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
For a richer flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika.
