Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus - Vegan + Gluten-Free
Red pepper hummus - a fab gluten-free vegan snack.


Get your hummus on. It's party time! The holiday season is upon us and that means it's time to whip up your favorite hummus and dip recipes. After all, the days are still getting shorter (my personal excuse for partying). And Winter Solstice- also known as the shortest, darkest day of the year- is only days away.

Then it's here comes the sun, Baby. So. Huzzah! Let's celebrate. To help in such a worthy cause, here's one of our favorite hummus recipes.

Let the sun shine in.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe

Forget store bought hummus that's been sitting in the deli case for weeks. It's laden with soybean oil. Or worse. And hummus is such an easy treat to make at home- especially if you have a food processor. Five minutes prep- and you're ready to rock.

Ingredients:

1 16-oz. (or 14-15-ounce) can chilled chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained
Juice of one fresh lemon
2 tablespoons sesame tahini, sunflower seed or nut butter
4 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
1/3 cup roasted red peppers (if using jarred, drain the peppers)
3 tablespoons tasty extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, roughly chopped
Pinch of sea salt, to taste

Instructions:

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor until creamy smooth.

Taste test and adjust the olive oil and seasoning to your liking. Cover and chill until serving.

Fab with fresh organic veggies, rice crackers, or organic blue corn chips. Or serve with my gluten-free easy Brown Rice Tortilla Chips, Buttermilk Flat Bread, or Savory Grain-free Crackers.

Karina's Note:

This naturally gluten-free hummus is also fab as a side dish with a plate of roasted vegetables and brown rice. It's a perfect way to add a complementary protein to a vegan meal.
